In the Simpsons Halloween IV episode, the following exchange takes place between Bart and Milhouse:
Bart: "Milhouse… Milhouse, wake up quick! Look out the window!
Milhouse: “No way, Bart. If I lean over, I leave myself open to wedgies, wet-willies, or even the dreaded ‘rear admiral’!”
What is the dreaded “rear admiral”? Has anyone ever received one? (I’m speaking in the context of public school bullying, for you would-be pre-verts out there.) Barring that, can anyone think of something good that we could call a rear admiral?
Well, I read mojo’s link, but I will say that we were delivering “rear admirals” to each other in college, before that episode ever aired.
Our rendition of the rear admiral (in our case, it was only done to members of the opposite sex, and only with people you were friendly with – you can adjust it to your own sexual preference/level of sexual harassment):
When someone is climbing the stairs in front of you, you forcefully jam a stiff thumb into their asshole. Most of the time, you miss or tight pants prevent any good results, but once in a while, with the victim wearing some baggy clothes and a little bit of good aim, You can REALLY get them good :eek:
AW, I dunno…I’ve always heard of “goosing” but never knew exactly what it meant.
In any event, we all called the stiff thumb to the ass “the rear admiral.”
I didn’t think about it on first read, but you are right. What the hell does a wet-willie have to do with bending over? The only “wet-willie” I know of is when you lick your finger and then stick it in someone’s ear, leaving them with the ooey-gooey ear canal.
Come to think of it, I’m not sure I want to know how the wet-willie is associated with bending over…
A little off the subject, but is the Josh Wienstein mentioned in that link as a Simpsons writer the same Josh Wienstein who played Dr. Larry Earhardt in the early episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000?
Inky-that’s exactly right. Weinstein is the same guy from MST3K! Pretty kewl, huh?
(Yes, I say Kewl, dammit!)
I thought goosing was just patting someone on the butt…
