Wait until you get a load of whitewater kayaking lingo. Missed my boof stroke and my skirt imploded. Now I have to drink a bootie beer because I ate it in that nasty hole.

Is this accurate?

I failed to execute a technique (boof stroke) that lifts the kayak's bow over obstacles, and my spray skirt (the waterproof cover that seals the cockpit) failed and let water in. Now I have to drink a beer out of my water shoe (a paddling tradition/penalty when you flip over and have to exit your kayak) because I crashed badly in that dangerous hydraulic (a turbulent section of water that recirculates).

Some people clean their balls by sucking on them.

Usually people say they're working on their swing. Maybe there are regional differences.
