Just when you thought "irritable bowel syndrome" was gonna be the best new addition to the Webster's New World College Dictionary, along comes the favorite terrorist technique employed in school gyms across the nation. I am talking, of course, about the "wedgie."
Frankly, I don't know what took so long.
We already have such websites as Rate My Wedgie and WedgieGirls.com, not to mention the home page of Wedgie the Clown (and Magician).
In the Oct. 16, 1991 Seinfeld episode titled "The Library," Jerry and Co. explain the definition of the wedgie:
Elaine: Why do they call it a wedgie?
George: Because the underwear is pulled up from the back and ... it wedges in.
Jerry: They also have an atomic wedgie. Now the goal there is to actually get the waistband on top of the head. Very rare.
Elaine: Boys are sick.
Jerry: Well what do girls do?
Elaine: We just tease someone 'til they develop an eating disorder.
