Shreddie or wedgie?

[Bozza]

Humiliation where the undepants are pulled sharply upwards from behind, causing them to go tightly up the victim's arse.

In my era, in Worthing, this was termed a shreddie.

The Brizzle boys call it a wedgie.

You decide.

Shreddie's are breakfast munch

 

[Crawley Boy]

And there was me thinking it was going to be a choice of whether I'd prefer a bowl of breakfast cereal (to eat) or my pants hoisted up my crack!

Wedgie, best one I witnessed was a The Offsprings gig at Wembley Arena (with AFI i might add) where these kids got their mate and somehow managed to pull his undies back over his head!...quite genius it was and got a huge applause from 1000 or so people just watching

I saw that, though the gig was shite as are the Offspring now !!

They were Shreddies when I was in the cubs and the poor victims ended up suspended by their pants from the coat hooks. Baden Powel has a lot to answer for.

Atomic Wedgie: Trying to get the victims pants over their head.

Wedgies of the atomic variety tend to be a grey area, and are difficult to define. The childrens' cartoons of recent times tend to define "atomic wedgie" as a wedgie where the underpants are then pulled up to such an extend where the elastic band could then be put around the victim's head. This, of course, is pure bullshit, and cannot occur in the real world (unless, of course, the victim's underpants are made of that magical, NON-existing elastic). But this perhaps is the originator of the real-life atomic wedgie.

In attempt to achive a around-the-head-with-the-elastic-band state, one will pull the underpants of the victim to the point of ripping either the elastic band or the fabric of the underpants. Though some will argue that cartoons has nothing to do with this term, and that atomic wedgies have no intention of going around the head, but just to rip the underpants. Either way, I'm sure it sucks to get one of these. I like how I take the term "atomic wedgie" in an entirely serious manner.

Definitely now called a Wedgie but to be honest when i was kid (just after the invention of the wheel) it was not a common schoolboy prank. That may just be an Eastbourne backwater thing.

Along similar lines what name did you use to giving your mates a lift on your chopper bike? The press covered the recent relaunch of this 70's fave bike and its extended saddle and used some strange expression i'd never heard of. In our area it was called giving someone a "luggy".

It was called a 'backie' and a fairly risky business - as it tended to leave your soft and danglies rather too close to the inconveniently placed, and rather hard, gear lever !!!

Giving a passenger a lift on your bike, of any description, was a 'buggy'.

A wedgie I reckon. The "Shreddies" are the underpants themselves.

 

[oldham gull]

having recently eaten a bowl of my kids shreddies due to there being nothing else in the cupboard, I would rather be the recipient of a wedgie any day!

Shreddies - the breakfast cereal - are fantastic - especially when accompanied by some Grape Nuts, demerara sugar and ice-cold, and not too much semi-skimmed milk.

Yum

 

[trueblue]

Not as good as Golden Nuggets.

Indeed, and no doubt the safety reason that meant the re-issue choppers don't have the gear shift in the same place

 

[zefarelly]

it was a backie . . . .the original chopper had a little laber on the seat which stated that this seat is designed for one person, although I seem to recall three was possible with the little rack on the back as well . . . .although the steering went a bit 'light' not that it was exactly heavy and precise to start with.

proper wedgies usually resulted in torn undercrackers, and over stretched elastic . . . .ie you had 2 halves of a pair left which looked more like a pair of old teatowels !!!

I quite enjoyed watching the "bungee wedgie" on Jackass The Movie, where the victim sat on the branch of a tree with his pants suspended to said branch, before leaping off and dropping 4 or 5ft before the pants took hold.

The skids and blood in the pants afterwards was a sight to behold. I have it on DVD.
