horsie
a type of 'bomb', whereby you make as large a splash as possible when entering a body of water. The horsie involves heading straight towards the water as if to do a bellywhacker (and perhaps doing a bit of mid-air running with the front and rear 'hooves' for greater pose value and effect), then tucking up just before hitting the surface, and immediately kicking out on submersion to create the large splash effect. Very common at local baths, also off bayside jetties: Langy did the biggest horsie I've ever seen! It nearly went as high as the 7-and-a-half! (ie, the 7.5m tower)
