“My friend bullied and pressured me to go spelunking, so I caved”

“Caving” is also known as “spelunking” in the United States. “Cave” also means to cease to resist (to submit).

Wikipedia: Caving
Caving – also known as spelunking in the United States and Canada and potholing in the United Kingdom and Ireland – is the recreational pastime of exploring wild cave systems (as distinguished from show caves). In contrast, speleology is the scientific study of caves and the cave environment.

I’ve been desperately battling with my spelunking addiction. It’s been 6 months since I last potholed…
But today I caved.
