Etymology
The term 'wedgie' is believed to have originated in the United States during the 1980s, although the practice itself appears to date back much further. It is thought to be a portmanteau, combining 'wedged' โ indicating how the underwear is pulled up and stuck โ with a playful suffix. The word quickly gained popularity in school settings, often associated with boys teasing each other. Its presence in television shows and movies in the late 20th century helped cement the term in mainstream culture. Over time, the wedgie has evolved from a juvenile prank into a broader cultural reference point, symbolizing playful teasing, bullying, and even friendships. The act of giving a wedgie is now as much a part of childhood folklore as the classic tales of schoolyard antics.
