[edit]horizontal "snaking" ???--Ericg33 (talk) 09:06, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed, an imprecise visual metaphor at best. Snake#Locomotion is commonly lateral undulation making "horizontal" redundant; alternatively "horizontal snaking" may be the "S" shaped form a snake body has laying horizontally. In either case, my interpretation is an oscillation about the yaw axis causing alternating left and right motions in the horizontal plane. Oscillations about the pitch axis cause up and down motions commonly called "porpoising" (vertical undulation). – Conrad T. Pino (talk) 10:21, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
