Mowing in rows is one of the fastest, most efficient way to cut your lawn. The size and shape of your yard plays a part in what direction the rows should go. If your yard is more wide, mow in horizontal rows to cover the longest part of your lawn with the least amount of turns.

For the slang meaning of terms, you might check the Urban Dictionary, available for iPhone or PC. “Mowing the Lawn” is a slang term for shaving the hair from your pubic region.

Mow When the Grass is Dry Mowing wet grass is slower and much more difficult than mowing a lawn that is dry. Wet grass clipping are much stickier and can clog the blades and cutting deck, plus it can be difficult to get a clean cut since wet grass doesn't stand up as straight as it does when dry.

Mowing is stressful on your grass. Because of this, you don't want to cut when it's already under incredible environmental stress, like a lengthy dry spell or severe drought. When drought-stressed, it's hard enough on your grass; don't compound it and mow during this time.
