FOXING; (verb) ‘To Fox’
The art of going into places you shouldn’t, taking things you oughtn’t to, and doing things that in most countries are probably just a tiny bit illegal. Acts are usually performed while under cover of darkness, with an MO directed in a more lighthearted vein, as opposed to an operation of terror or destruction. Can also be used to describe an outing of mischief. Similar to reality hacking, urban infiltration/urban exploration, and parkour, but with the added bonus of ‘finding’ random items to be ‘purchased’ as trophies for well-run missions.
Sample Activities and Term Usage;
1. Finding an ‘open’ door to an office and ‘purchasing’ a half-dozen paperclips from the workstation for trophies. Perhaps if time, rearranging important looking papers that were found in the ‘unlocked’ filing cabinet and drawing smiley faces in the centre of each one. Take the umbrella.
2. Collecting goslings.

Published on September 3, 2013, the parody has become the latest internet video sensation, created by two brothers of a Norwegian talk show. The song revolves around their curiosity of the sound of the fox, but is portrayed through hilarious animal-costumed singers/actors and creepy dancers in masks and ties. The video has been described as the «Gangnam Style» of Norway. As of date, the video already has already gained 32 million views in a mere week, and that number continues to rise.

WHAT DOES FOXING MEAN IN ENGLISH?
Foxing
Foxing is a term describing the age-related spots and browning seen on vintage paper documents such as books, postage stamps, certificates, and so forth. The name may derive from the fox-like reddish-brown color of the stains, or the rust chemical ferric oxide which may be involved. Paper so affected is said to be «foxed.» Although unsightly and a negative factor in the value of the paper item for collectors, foxing does not affect the actual integrity of the paper. Foxing also occurs in biological study skins or specimens, as an effect of chemical reactions or mold on melanin. Aside from foxing, other types of age-related paper deterioration include destruction of the lignin by sunlight and absorbed atmospheric pollution, typically causing the paper to go brown and crumble at the edges, and acid-related damage to cheap paper such as newsprint, which is manufactured without neutralizing acidic contaminants.
