Seat-skinning (v.)

The widely observed practice of covering a toilet seat in tissue paper before sitting on it as a means of avoiding any sexually transmitted diseases that might potentially be lingering there. Typically undertaken as a matter of course in public lavatories throughout the world except (curiously enough) in Belgium, where they don't care so much about these kind of things.

Due to the widespread popularity of this practice, some lavatories now dispense special pre-formed seat-skins that eliminate all that tedious mucking about with toilet tissue. In both cases, however, care must be taken to wipe the seat before one beginning the seat-skinning process, otherwise there is a distinct risk of ‘bumclimping’.
