Then enable your turn signal (because you’re not an Masshole) and pull out going the other direction. As a sexual act, it’s pretty straight forward. Or straight backward, really. It’s when a girl (preferably of the green mountain variety, because girls from VT are known to be hot AF) walks past a dude.

She then proceeds to ride him like a Morgan horse while feeding him Cabot cheddar cheese and/or Ben & Jerry’s. At climax, he shoots his 100% pure maple syrup into her homemade apple pie. She gets up and walks in the opposite direction towards some dope fall foliage.
