A wedgie occurs when a person's underwear or other garments are wedged between the buttocks. When performed on males, this can be dangerous, potentially causing testicular or scrotal damage. In fact, an incident in 2004 involving a ten-year-old boy required reattachment of a testicle to the scrotum! The Atomic Wedgie entails hoisting the waistband of the receiver's underwear up and over their head.
