wedgie man

以前ＲＤで見たcartoonに “I hate wedgie man most.” のせりふがあり、この"wedgie man" の意味が分かりませんでしたが、やっと "wedgie" がいたずら（prank）の一種であることが分かりました。

A wedgie is any one of a variety of pranks involving pulling the victim's underwear up so that it wedges between the buttocks. This is to cause the victim pain and humiliation in front of others. A variation, known as an "atomic wedgie" involves stretching their underwear from their butt over their head.

Wikipedia には何十ものSchool Pranksの解説があり、驚くほどです。　Pranksの名称だけを見ても中々面白いものがあります。　その内３つを以下に紹介します。

Hertz donut
Asking a person if he wants a "Hertz donut". An unsuspecting person will believe he has been offered some kind of doughnut of the Hertz variety. When the victim admits to wanting one, the prankster hits or punches the victim and then says, "Hurts, don'it?"

Goosing
The prankster jabs at the anus of genitalia of the victim, usually with his/her thumb. This was a fairly common practice during the 1930s and was not considered to be any more serious than hurling a spitball of putting gum on someone's chair. A variant is known in Japan as "kancho".

Capital of Thailand
This is generally done with the pranks asking their unsuspecting victim, "What is the capital of Thailand?" More than often the prankster calls "Bangkok" and punches the victim in the balls. This was popularized in the American Pie movies.
