Humping is a common slang word for intercourse or fucking, and usually implies a certain degree of dominance by the male. Common positions one might imagine when they think of the word humping are doggie style, missionary style, or sideways doggie, but rarely is the female on top or in control.
The term Humping was much more common during the late 80’s and early 90’s, but now the general public have mostly agreed that the term is out of date and lame. More commonly used now is the word ‘fucking,’ or in order to avoid swearing one might use the adolescent-friendly term ‘banging.’
Since the late 1990’s, humping has become a more common term on talk radio, tv commercials, and bar advertisements. This explains the terrible coining of the term “hump day,” which is supposed to refer to Wednesday as being the middle “hump” of the week, but has now come to mean it’s a good night to go out to a club and try and pick up some slutty chicks.
Other than advertisements and bad radio, humping is used in the English language in Trailer Parks, usually being applied to local dogs. For example, one neighbor might be heard yelling to another neighbor, “Hey Cleetis! I just caught you’re Mutt Boxer humping my lady Isabelle! I best not see no puppies ‘round here come spring!”
1. If you ever find yourself strolling along the boardwalk late at night, it is not uncommon to see a pair of homeless men humping over the edge of a garbage can.
2. My dog won’t stop humping my wife’s leg, and I’m starting to get a little jealous.
