What's this called in English..

[Thoraby]

You know when you take a small flat rock, or a penny, and throw it onto a lake with flinging movement, and the rock bounces on the water? Anyone got a clue?

Thanx a million

I have heard it called skipping or skimming.

Re: What\'s this called in English..

How would you use that in a sentence? Like this:
. The last thing you want when you’re thirsty is not being able to locate the water stream you were skipping in half an hour ago.???

Re: What\'s this called in English..

Yeah, we'd alway rock skipping or stone skipping as a term, and the act would be as mentioned, "skipping a stone" etc.

Re: What\'s this called in English..

lol..yes, you NEED to mention the 'stone' in the sentance or you will come off as a fancy lad.
