Meaning
What does Teabagging mean?
Teabagging is one of, if not the most widely known weird sexual practice, which basically encompasses a man hanging his balls into the mouth of his sexual partner.
Funny enough, teabagging is mostly used and referred to by kids, thanks to competitive first person shooters, like Counter Strike, or Call of Duty, where they are crouching over dead bodies with their characters as a display of disrespect.
Alternatively, teabagging can also be performed as a mean prank in a party on one of the participants, who had fallen asleep.
Origin
What's the origin of Teabagging?
Like the case with all of these sexual practices, the origins of this one is also hidden into the veils of obscurity, with accounts recalling “Teabagging” in the military as far back as the 1980’s.
The popularization of the term is possibly traceable back to the 1998 movie, “Pecker” in which one of the strippers is scolded for teabagging guests.
Spread & Usage
How did Teabagging spread?
The earliest Urban Dictionary entry on teabagging was written in 2001, further spreading the term in the database of internet dwellers.

Guys were teabagging their fellow soldiers in the army barracks if they fell asleep with other troops around that were still awake, at least as far back as the late 80s, and it was already called “teabagging.”
