Is this the end of the Wedgie?!? :eek:

*plots to buy the patent and squirrel it away in the same secret warehouse as the detergentless washing machine and the indestructible automobile tires*

I've had the pleasure of never being wedgied.

Where do you live?

Heh.

All this is going to lead to is lots of post-rip dekegging.

Kansas
Lol

Fine. I foresee lots of underwear being stolen instead.

Once you patent it, the contents of the patent become public domain.

True, but with nobody but me having the legal ability to manufacture and sell them, they won't catch on. *nod*

Heh. Nevermind. God already wedgied you. ;)

I fear this will just spawn an endless wedgie arms-race of measures vs counter-measures. We must fight the ever growing influence of the underwear-industrial complex.

I wonder if this would be a good solution for bra snapping as well? Every time you took a shot at snapping a girls back with her bra strap it would just rip right off!
The more I think about this the more I like it. Yes, yes, I really do like this idea! Fiddling with those ridiculous hooks would be a thing of the past! No more wondering - does it have two hooks or three? It would just rip right off! I'm off to the patent office right now!!! Woooohoooo!

I think I'd find it more traumatic to end up with someone's tire-tracked tidy whiteys in my hands. ;)

No, see, there is a built in response to bra snapping. It's called face-slapping.

Especially if they're the kind of people who invent stuff with names like the Ripaway 1000. Eugh. Personal hygiene of such people : generally low.

If this device became widespread, wedgying would just be replaced with a different kind of physical bullying.

I guess I'm missing something here. A wedgie is when someone grabs your underwear and pulls them down, exposing the butt. So, these kids have underwear that, when pulled, just come undone -- exposing the butt. So what's the point?

I want to know what the article means by "the mother's partner".

Oh no, no, no.

A dekegging, aka a debriefing is down, and causes mental but no physical trauma.

A wedgie goes up, and causes both mental and physical anguish.

Hahaha, no, not even close.

A wedgie is when somebody grabs the elastic strap of the underwear and pulls up as hard and fast as is humanly possible.

What do you think it'll be? depantsing?

No, it would be more painful, as the use of anti-bullying devices would anger the bullies.

I think in Korea, the bullies jab you in the bunghole with their fingers. :eek:

Oh no, no, no.

We always called it "Pantsing" when you had your drawers pulled down. Oh and we can still rely on the ever present "Noogie" for bullying now.

Well, that might come later, but initially it would probably be a reversion to simpler methods such as punching.

Hell, there's no such thing as a wedgie here in Brazil and my high school life was STILL traumatic.

"there are no Wedgies in Iran...this phenomenon does not exist"

Oh no, no, no.

Thank you, Yootopia, for explaining it. I knew I had to be missing something.

For the record, we didn't do that when I was a kid. We pulled the pants down -- it was called "pantsing" back then in the Dark Ages....

Pantsing and wedgies did not exist in my childhood. Perhaps it was the rural-ish setting that made kids just homophobic enough to not go around touching peoples underwear.

However, as I understand the invention-the band rips free in the wedgers hands, which I now imagine will be snapped bra-like on the intended victims back. But the initial shock of that happening would be pretty funky I guess. There's an ad where a kid who gets daily wedgies comes to school without underwear on and when the bully comes to grab his underwear the kid asks, "You looking for something, butt-toucher?" Thus making the bully forever considered "Butt-toucher."

Wedgies are not common to do over here, so I also had the pleasure.

Living in The Netherlands has its perks.

Well, I didn't see it happen when I was at school (in England), but the general principle of bullying is easy enough to understand, and watching American TV programmes (which are on TV often in England) made me aware of the particular practices used.

There are some really lucky bastards here. I have been suspended off the ground by a wedgie and left to die. :(

really? someone from my High School got a kick to the groin.

I think he would've loved the face slapping instead...

One of my friends got strung up a tree by his boxers. Sad times for him ensued.

Kancho it's called, and Japan as well.

These keen-minded inventors really didn't think that through. What about gym class? People wearing velcro underpants are just ASKING to have them torn off and be subjected to even more bullying. It's like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey and expecting it not to go for it.

The key to not getting a wedgie: psychologically torture the bully.


Worked for me. His anguish... :D
