An awesome prank to pull on nerds, achieved by grabbing the waistband of the victim’s underwear and lifting up with all your strength. This causes the undies to go up the nerd’s butt crack. Wedgies combine embarrassment and pain, with the exposure of the underwear and potentially butt cheeks as well as the pressure on the victim’s private parts. The wedgie is often performed alongside other pranks, like swirlies and pantsing. There are also many variants of the basic wedgie, such as pulling from the front of the underwear or suspending the victim by their underwear. Anyone can be given a wedgie, but the prank is usually most effective on nerds (or geeks, dorks, dweebs, losers, whatever you call them).
