How prominent were wedgies during your time at school ?

We just got on with our studies, no time for shenanigans.

"Binning" was an initiation thing in Nenagh CBS. A gang of 6th years would drag a lone 1st year into an empty classroom, bring his knees up to his chin and put him ar$e first into a big bin. Then they'd put him and bin on the teachers table and run.

Boarding school...early '00s...we had something called the ultimate wedgie where some poor First year on a top bunk would be forced to hook their own underwear on the corner of the bed and jump off - most underwear just ripped straight off, pity the poor kids with the fancy jocks though

Even the mere thought now gives me the fecking fear.

Pile ups they were called in our school. Never liked them much either although it's just piles that I'm afraid of now.

Luckily not many, it would only really happen if you went to pick something up and the top of the boxers were poking out.
There was a phase when lads would stand either side of you put a hurley through your legs and lift you up.
That was put to an abrupt end when a guy the year ahead went he got a bruised sliotar and had to go to hospital.

Bleurgh, I need to wake up. I thought everyone was talking about wedges and was thinking did I miss some golden years of crispy potato treats?

''nipple cripples'' were big in my school, it was where you pinched another person's nipple area with your finger nails and twisted and pulled at the same time, whilst making a hissing sound like a snake or a can of coke being opened.

No wedgies in my school i ever heard of when i went, however there was the following

Instigator - "whats the capital of thailand?"
Victim - "Bangkok"
Instigator punches Victim in the balls.

Someone tried that on me and got a knee into the face for his effort of trying to punch me in balls, he didnt try it with me ever again.

Walk up behind someone with a heavy backpack and pull them back and downwards by the collar. Tailbone meets granite.

The most fun was The Gauntlet when a whole class was waiting outside a locked classroom on either side of the corridor and some poor unfortunate had to walk through their swinging legs.

In my day they were non-existent and the use of such Americanisms would have been met with a "Go home yank."

I was in Terenure college for 6 years and a day didnt pass with out a wedgie !
I remember one teacher used them as punishment (he would allow sixt year rugby heads to wedgie first and second years if they misbehaved alot... he was a sound guy haha I heard he died about 10 years ago

Also common was the bogwashing of first years (heads downs the jacks flush).
Good memories.

Where I went to school, the Christain Brothers were the only ones allowed to assault and humiliate pupils.

Cheeses were much more common, cracking someone's arse with the back of your hand in a non-gay way.
