Wood Pile

A group activity in which several individuals fuck on one participant, often in a way that mirrors the dynamic of a “train,” but with the roles changed so that the central participant is male rather than a woman. The term plays on the imagery of piling wood, with each piece of “wood” representing a participants penis.

Example: “We stacked a wood pile on that faggot.”
