The act of laying down, or placing a single or a double segment of toilet paper on the surface of the water in
the toilet bowl, in order to stop or significantly reduce "
splash backs" when
relieving oneself.
"I felt the urge to take the biggest crap yesterday and I was afraid I might get some
splash-back, so I laid down the carpet before I initiated. 60 percent of the time, it works.... EVERY TIME!"
"
Laying down the carpet saved my ass from years of shitty water
splashing my asshole."
