so, i rolled over sometime early this AM and was knocking knees with my beloved (get your minds out of the gutter- that's not a euphemism for anything- our knees truly were hitting), and i started wondering, what's the opposite of "spooning"?
traditional spooning involves both parties facing the same direction, so there are actually two alternatives- both parties facing each other, or facing away from each other. do either of those positions have a colloquialism?
(this post didn't start out to be a reminiscing, but thinking about neologisms has triggered memories of sniglets and rich hall and hbo's NNTN- a far cry from the colbert report, to be sure.)

"tonging"?
No, that's just weird.
I guess it doesn't have to be a utensil.
Actually, the true opposite would be the Cincinnati Bowtie. (google it)
umm, not quite sure that's what i was thinking of. (word of caution: googling wiley's reference is only for the strong of heart)
when you google "finkipedia" it asks if you meant "wikipedia", but if you google "cincinatti bowtie" is does not ask if you meant "the opposite of spooning" .... Nooooooo. Google has a record of that search.
