I had never heard the term before landing here. Let’s have some fun with this one... off topic definitions welcome... I’ll start things off with:

Noodling: To cut a round in halft lengthwise. Similar to ripping. Opposite of bucking.

Do “noodlers” lose fingers to snapping turtles / modified clutch covers... frequently? I’m up on the plains near the border with Canada. If you told me to stick my bare hand down a gopher hole up to my armpit... I’d tell you to f-word off and do it yourself, there are rattlesnakes in those dark holes!

I asked this of some chainsaw manufacturers, and forestry people. They said that the closest 'official' terminology they could come up with was 'parallel grain ripping'. Which is why we call it 'noodling'.

Noodling is for the knotty rounds that the splitting maul just bounces off of!

Better than Mac & Cheese! Mac & Noodles!!!

It is a Pro Mac 800, bought it to add to my McCulloch collection but just had to use it. 5 cu in, a very strong saw. Really cuts! 32 inch bar, 3/8 x .063 full skip chisel, square ground. Sort of a beast to start, lots of compression.

Opposite would imply 180^ I would propose the technical term “normal” in place of “opposite”. Normal being 90^ to the original alignment. Just sayin
