is it just wanking? If so, why are people talking about it

Edit - turns out that yes, it is just wanking lol

Edit Edit - honestly, I find it strange that so many of these things have special words. 'edging' , 'creampie' , and now 'gooning'. These are all very mundane activities, lads

But don't you say "die" when you say "Goonies never say die"?

Goonies highly value the use/mention distinction.
