"[D]id you ever go '_brumsky_'? Brrrrrrrrrrr... [shakes head and flaps
his lips] '_Brumsky_' ...?"
UD 2003:

_brumsky_
to place one's face between a woman's breasts and to exhale sharply
[through one's lax lips], while moving one's face quickly from left to
right.
FWIW (I know: nothing; but WTF?), I first heard this word ca. 1951. It
was used in a kind of joke:
A. "Hey, jim! Do you know how to play 'brumsky'?"
"No."
"Well, you..." etc.
I was reminded of _brumsky_ by its occurrence in some random,
poor-man's American Pie being re-run on CC.
