I call it cheeking. What you do is, if you find a flat-topped post, you get onto it and balance yourself sitting on one cheek. You'll have to extend your arms and a leg outward for stability.

> Owling was a common term for the smuggling of sheep or wool from England to another country, particularly France. The practice was illegal in England from 1367 until 1824.[1] Participants were called "owlers"; their ships "owling boats".
> The origins of the term are obscure, and it appears to have developed toward the end of the 17th century, well after owling was first outlawed. It is presumed to derive from owlers' preference for performing their work at night (traditionally the time of the owl). The earliest citation in the Oxford English Dictionary is Narcissus Luttrell's report in 1699 that a recent outbreak had been suppressed. The practice seems not to have had a particular name attached to it before that point.[2]

Pay an influencer and it'll be a thing. I've got a pretty good duck-face; just putting that out there.
