Skommel 'verb' (pronounced Skoh-mil)

Originally used in the Dutch language to describe a shaking or rocking motion, the term skommel is commonly used as a slang term in South African Afrikaans to describe masturbation in a rudimentary manner.

It is a term used so frequently that it has nearly completely ousted the literal meaning of the original Dutch word from everyday language.

Tony: All that dog needs is a little bit of lube and he'll start to skommel.
