The video below reminds me, I am just trying out a newish sitcom I didn't know, 8 Simple Rules. (It seems promising, and has at least one pretty babe, young enough to make me cringe in shame about looking, gotta love that.) The teen daughter comes down, and the thin side strings of her thong are showing over her tight jeans. Her father says "no way". She says: "but I have to. Panty lines!". He says: "panty lines are fine. In fact, in my day they were quite the thing." She says: "well, this is the thong generation." He says: "It's no wonder you young women are always so angry, you're walking around with a permanent wedgie."
(Do you see a video above here? Oddly, it shows in Safari, but not in Firefox.)

What is a wedgie?
Something brain-dead American young males do, pull up hard on another boy's underpants in the back (so it "wedges in"). Don't ask me how it's supposed to be funny, it's done by the same people who will dunk somebody's head in a toilet for "fun".

Have you ever watched "Weeds"? Seems like a show you'd enjoy, now on Season 5.
Funny you should mention it, it's less than an hour ago I ordered season 3.
I love any show with humor, the more the better.
Yet some comedy shows I don't like at all, for example "Married With Children" or "Roseanne". And I expected to like "How I Met Your Mother", but I didn't.
30Rock is not bad.
One of my faves running now is 2.5 Men.

Sh'yuuh! "Brain dead"? Like, dude, where's your sense of macho? Huuunh?
Tormenting poor scrawny nerds by squeezing their balls up their crack is SO funny! Sometimes they even pass out. Hyuck!
Good, clean, family-friendly college entertainment. Even better that squashing an empty can on your forehead.
Oh yeah, and, like, dunkin' somebody's head in a toilet is even better if you leave them with no paper, 'cause you just used it all to TP the headmaster's house, shyahaha!
And, hey, Lambda Nean Delta guys rule! Booya!
(Urrrrp!)

Not just dumb American males, though, Eolake. And I'd be surprised if it wasn't a universal thing. I'd bet young students in Copehagen, Beijing, Stockholm, wherever, probably everyone has independently come up with this.
Then there is the ultimate wedgie, the Atomic Wedgie. It's funny as long it's not done to you.
dunk somebody's head in a toilet for "fun".
Btw, that is called a "swirlie."

Historical Footnote:
It's also a type of women's shoe
with a wedge-shaped heel.
HILARIOUS vid! ROFLMFAO!! Thanks for that laugh! :-)

ANyone who says that was probably on the receiving end....
I've never seen that happen in a European school at all, not to me or others.
"I'd be surprised if it wasn't a universal thing."
Not in Beirut, it isn't.
Sometimes, the taboos around genitals, extending to undies, have their good side.

Well, it's funny when The Mask does it to Lt Calloway in the cartoon series! HAAA-HAAA-HAAAH!

Only if you flush...
Ray,
I've learned something new today, thanks to you. :-)
Anon,
Here's a suggestion: you try being on the receiving end for a change, maybe you too will learn something new today...
Violence to the testes can lead to immediate death by reflex cardiac arrest. I don't really call that "funny".
And... if you disagree, I dare you to prove the contrary on yourself, "if you're a real man"!
(makes clucking sounds)
Oh yes, and that video it to ROTFWL, indeed. :-)))
I've never seen that happen in a European school at all, not to me or others.
That is because Europeans are known to be dirty. They probably don't wear underwear.
That's not a new one. I saw the exact same joke in the cartoon series, when the Mask attempts to give one of his patented Atomic Wedgies to some american in the Deep South:
"No underwear? Eyeuw!"
But you get points for the erudite cultural reference and adequately using it in a senten... in a thread, so that'll give you a passing grade. :-)
SssssMOkin'!

Actually that's called a "wedge" not a "wedgie."

I have been. The thing is everyone got it at least once, but to my knowledge none of those guys has had any trouble having children. None died of heart attacks. I'd hate to live in the bland paradise that you and Eolake and many others evision. Talk about boring.
P.S. I have never seen or heard of a so called "swirlie" being done to anyone, that is soething I've only ever heard about on American TV (an episode of Frasier; "There goes Crane, down the drain, there goes crane, down the drain"). I don't know if that one is real or not.
I've never seen any case of "death by inhibition" either, but when seasoned Professors teaching in Med School tell me something about the human body, I tend to believe them...
Not sure how this makes me "live in a bland paradise". Sudden death is neither boring nor heavenly, IMHO.
Bear in mind I *might* be slightly jaded from growing up during the (in)famous Lebanon war. And yet, seeing a person die still doesn't make me yawn with a lazy smile.
I know: weirdish, hunh?

The desperate avoidance of anything that causes offence is what indicates you dream of this kind of utopia. You and most of the people here, who try so hard to not offend anyone, to thepoint that most comments are pretty worthless.

It is an understand reaction to war to dream of the kind of world where nothing offends, a kind of Pleasantville (before it turned to color). That's why the 1950s (at least in the USA) were the way they were: soldiers returning from the hell that was World War II wanted a safe, bland, inoffensive world as an antidote to that.
What the...? "Desperate avoidance of anything that causes offence"???
Dude, have you even LOOKED at my blog?
Given some of the topics I treat there and what I say about them, it's amazing the State still hasn't sued me!
(whimper) Please don't tell on me.
Just by comparing prayer ecstasy to sexual orgasm, I thought I was in for blasphemy charges for sure.
But if you're challenging me and flapping your arms with clucking sounds, it'd be my pleasure to nastily diss you in a purely gratuitous manner, without so much as explaining why I view your opinions as total bovine manure. You just say the word, and I'll happily oblige. :-)
I don't usually go out of my way looking for conflicts (that's precisely why I'm still alive in THIS country), but anything to please a friend. Dear buddy.
BTW, if you think the Lebanese today are living in blissful denial, then clearly you haven't read the latest of our political news.
"Pleasantville" is what the locals familiarly call the Hell of Boredom over here. It's even got a precise location.
But we've been turning it into a shopping touristic area these last few years. Steadily getting animated. For instance, drive-by purse snatching has skyrocketed. :-)
