spooning

Who taught: Pat


 

Let me introduce you a song that I am really addicted these days! One of my students, Kelvin, got me into this song and I love it.

It is a song called moves like jagger by Maroon 5, featuring Christina Aguilera. In fact, I am listening to it as I write this post. This song makes me want to dance. (Am I dancing now? Probably in my imagination.) 🙂 You will enjoy it this summer. Finally, summer is here, yay!

On the contrary, let’s talk about winter. One of the things I do do enjoy during winter is snowboarding. The feeling that I get to have when I ride very fast and jump over big mount of snow is amazing and hard to describe. Last winter, I went snowboarding a few times with my friend, Pat. And, one time, we went and stayed over a night at Kerry’s cabin that is located close to the resort.

We had to share a bed. As we were getting into the bed, he said to me, “No spooning!” I did not get what he meant. I was like, “Dude, are you hungry? We are about to fall asleep here.” So, can you guess what spooning means here? I mean, we know what spoon is, right? I do not even need the definition here. The point here is the shape of a spoon. As a person, can you make your body look like a spoon? Yes, you can! As a matter of fact, you might do it every night, especially if you got married. At this point, you need to think two spoons are put together in your kitchen drawer. How do they stay together? They stay very close to each other since they have the identical shape, right? That said, here is the definition of spooning with regard to people.

A form of affection between a couple. Where the man lays front to back with the girl. They fit together like spoons.

It is a good thing to do with your wife/girl friend or husband/boy friend. But, with your friends with the same gender? No,,, no no…

So, please no spooning in cabin with your friends, if you know what I mean. 🙂

P.S: Do people in the U.S. use spooning to mean using a spoon to get some food from a bowl or something? I kind of doubt. Could you advise me, my American friends?

  1. That song is fun and very catchy!

    There’s also the terms “big spoon” (person in the back) and “little spoon” (person in the front).
    I’ve heard guys use these when they’re joking about sharing a bed…. “Dude, I will only share a bed with you if I get to be big spoon”

    • Isn’t it, Patty? Next time Pat says, “No spooning!” to me, I will say to him, “Dude, I am planning to be big spoon.” 🙂
