Wedgie

A wedgie (also known as a snuggie, grundie", gotch pull, or mervin.) is having one's underwear or other garments "wedged" between the buttocks. This can occur naturally, due to tight garments or physical activity; this is referred to as the underwear "riding up". It can also be performed as a prank or as a form of bullying; this is referred to as "giving (a person) a wedgie".Wedgies, when performed by bullies, can cause incredible pain due to the position of the underpants. Wedgies are commonly seen in popular culture for example on the popular American animated TV show The Simpsons.
