Within what's known as the secure transport industry, it's called "gooning." Brawny men show up under the cover of darkness and force a teenager into a vehicle, taking them against their will to a boarding school, foster home or treatment center.
Experiences like his [David Patterson's] have prompted members of the US Congress to scrutinise gooning amid a push for more state regulation over the transporting of minors from their homes to correctional institutions.
gloss: A form of masturbation that involves edging ("maintaining sexual arousal without reaching orgasm") for a long period of time, resulting in a hypnotic, trance-like state. This is sometimes enhanced with a drug, such as amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, marijuana, or methamphetamines.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: Explanations of "gooning" often reference accessing a primal, implicitly male state of sexual excitement and indulgence, a kind of physical speaking in tongues through masturbation.
Edging, gooning's close cousin, is a bit more time-consuming and involved, but it comes with the promise of a more powerful and gratifying ejaculation at the end.
So, if you're in need of a legal, au naturel way of improving your meat-beating, have you considered gooning or mindgasms?
While gooning can be perfectly healthy for those who can exercise self-control and have their sessions in moderation, some aspects of the larger gooning culture can quickly become problematic.

pos: noun
examples: Perhaps the best way of growing Brugmansias in moderate-sized houses is as standards in 12in. pots.
In the days when I was a young man, when we spoke of Brugmansias, we never thought of Datura, but now they are both placed in horticultural works under the latter name.
Fragrance after the sun goes down is the best reason to have a brugmansia. […] Brugmansias can be grown directly in ground beds or in large tubs. […] Let’s look at some specific varieties of brugmansias.
After seeing a brugmansia in your e-newsletter and reading the piece about tropical plants, I was compelled to write to tell you what happened to our family last spring. I had pruned my 2-year-old brugmansia, which we know is poisonous to people and animals, into a tree form so that we didn’t have to worry about cats and children eating the leaves. […] On the porch floor, there was a dried brugmansia leaf with a hole nibbled in it. Racing the cat to the vet would prove futile, and a long 24 hours later, the cat died from the effect of the atropine poison common to brugmansias and daturas.
In a warm space without good air circulation, conditions will also be ripe for the development of mildew or for the proliferation of pests like aphids. By the same token, keeping a brugmansia healthy in a cool, sunny space might not be so difficult — but try it in a warm room and you’ll be inviting an infestation of whiteflies. […] Some salvias, brugmansias, bananas (Musa), lemon verbena (Aloysia), Sinningia, and Bouvardia ternifolia can overwinter in the basement just in their pots. […] In the case of brugmansias, you must plan ahead in this respect. Because of their large size and slow growth rate, we’ve found that the best time to take brugmansia cuttings is in the early part of the summer for the following year. […] Brugmansia (angel’s trumpet, brugmansia) / Hardy to at least 35°F (2°C)
