Revision as of 04:31, 21 September 2009

Teabagging is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth or on or around the face (including the top of the head) of another person, often in a repeated in-and-out motion as in irrumatio. The practice resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea.

Teabagging is also an erotic activity used within the context of BDSM and male dominance, with a dominant man teabagging his submissive partner, a woman, as one variation of facesitting and/or as a means of inflicting erotic humiliation. Teabagging is not always carried out with a solely "sexual" connotation. In some cases it can be carried out as a prank whereby a male might teabag a sleeping person for the mere humiliation and humor of the act. This kind of activity is sometimes carried out in domestic situations involving alcohol.

In 2009, however, the term gained a second, political meaning that has given it more currency than its original, sexual meaning.

The practice

An example of teabagging is shown in the John Waters movie Pecker, in which a male stripper repeatedly strikes a man's forehead; this scene purportedly introduced the practice of teabagging to a wider audience.

It has also been reported as a practice in hazing, as in this article by Robert DeKoven from Gay and Lesbian Times:

One such story involved what school officials termed a hazing incident, which involved three varsity wrestlers and three coaches at Argo Community High School near Chicago. The school suspended the wrestlers and coaches for a hazing incident that involved the “tea-bagging” of several freshman wrestlers ... hree varsity wrestlers pulled freshmen, one by one, to the back of the bus. There, two of the boys held each boy down as the third boy shoved his testicles in the freshman’s face.

Use as a political term

During the 2009 Tea Party protests against the tax policies of the United States Government,the use of the phrase "tea bag" was used by Fox News Reporter Griff Jenkins and reteaparty.org. Salon.com, however, pointed out that "teabagging" has long had the meaning above.

The term "tea bagging" was quickly co-opted by those critical of the movement. For example, MSNBC's David Shuster who on April 13, accused the protesters of "going nuts for it" and "whip out the festivities"; wanting to "give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending." He argued that "the people who came up with it are a familiar circle of Republicans including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, both of whom have backing from right wing financiers and lobbyists." and that "the Fox News Channel, including Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, both are looking forward to an up close and personal taste of teabagging themselves." He concluded, saying that "If you are planning simultaneous teabagging all around the country, you're going to need a Dick Armey." On April 13, 14, and 15, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow made similar remarks. On April 14 and 15, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann made remarks in the same vein, and on April 15, CNN's Anderson Cooper said "It's hard to talk when you're teabagging." Anderson Cooper later apologized for his comments, saying that they detracted from his reporting.

Teabagger is now widely used to mean a participant in the Tea Party protests, a series of protests against the expansion of government spending in the USA in 2009 by opponents of the protesters. The use of the term in this meaning is generally derogatory. However, the verb "tea bag" to describe the act of protesting has been used self-descriptively in a few cases such as by a protester photographed holding a sign reading "Tea Bag the Liberal Dems Before They Tea Bag You" in February 2009. and others, including Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins and the website ReTeaParty.com. Supporters of the Obama administration also used the term to criticize what they see as impolite, boisterous and disruptive opponents of Obama's plans or policies in public meetings. They also have used the term against what they label as 'astroturf' campaigners.

Other uses

In windsurfing and other watersports, an individual is "teabagged" when they fall beneath the water of a choppy wave.
