Very stupid question, I do realise, as by the number of random references to “wedgies” in film/TV shows and such like, it seems clear that everyone but me knows. Can someone enlighten me?
Pretty please?
It’s when someone reaches into your pants, grabs the waistband of your skitters, and gives a hearty yank.
Alternately, it’s a kind of shoe with a ramp-like sole, as opposed to a separate heel section.
Hope that helps…
It is when your pants or underpants crawl into your buttcrack…

OMG, they are going to have to remove that, should have surfed it a little more…its naughty…sorry!

Ahhhh. sound of things falling into place Is it an American expression? Because I don’t think I’ve ever heard it used in Britain - just American films/shows.
It’s also very funny, Margo…
Sappho,
Who would have thought that ratemywedgie.com would be an adult site? Honestly…am I the first person on this board to hit notify moderator for their own post? :smack: Margo
nope, I’ve done it, too
(notified mods about my own posts…cos I thought they’d be in the wrong section, or because people didn’t see the funny side of things and were a bit upset).
Thanks Margo.
I’ll have to spen a great deal of time at that site later when my wife is away for the weekend.
From Seinfeld:
“Why do they call it a wedgie?”
“Because the underwear is pulled up from the back until… it wedges in.”
“They also have an Atomic Wedgie. Now the goal there is to actually get the waistband on top of the head. It’s very rare.” “Boys are sick.”
“What do girls do?”
“We just tease someone until they develop an eating disorder.”
I’ve learned so much about America from that show.
A couple of points…
Wedgies are usually performed from the rear.
Secondly, when I was growing up (70’s), the term we used was “gonch-pull”. Maybe gonch is just a Canadian term?
Wedgie didn’t come along until later.
Finally, along the lines of the “atomic wedgie”, the worst one I ever saw was a wedgie werein the unfortunate recipient was left hanging from a coat hook in the boys changing room.
Don’t forget the dreaded rear admiral!
:eek:
wait a minute…people actually hang people by their underwear in a changeing room? It’s actually happened?!?! Boys are weird!
OK, how many synonyms can we come up with? It was a “murf” where I grew up (Central Coast, CA).
What is a wedgie?
Well, you see, when a man and his underpants love each other very much…
It was always “wedgie” where I grew up. My Minnesota cousins, however, called them “weedgies” (rhymes with Fiji).
We called it a “grundy” (grundie?)
Northwest Illinois - 60’s, 70’s
I forgot about “grundy”, we used that and “melvin” too, this was in Idaho in the 1970’s…of course we were also made to say “roony” for butt…

“They Melvined me.” Death, apologetic comment to God. - Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey
Probably my favorite line in the movie followed closely by the way Death says “You have sunk my battleship”
“Wedgie” is current in Australia. I only remember it from about the mid-90s though. Prior to that I wasn’t aware of any term for that particular aahh… phenomenon.
“Grundies” is simply a slang term for underpants here. The pants themselves, not any strange activity associated with them. That word has been around for decades, but is probably not used much now.
