best school prank according to wikipedia

Kancho is a prank played in Japan;[4] it is performed by clasping the hands together so the index fingers are pointing out and attempting to insert them sharply into someone's anal region when the victim is not looking.[5] It is similar to the wedgie or a goosing. Kancho means enema.

Poll:Are you a benny tied to a tree?

they're all good but indian burn nudges ahead of the rest by being racist too

i was thinking of another circle game.

"Mooning" is displaying one's bared buttocks to someone, so-called because the buttocks are generally not suntanned

unusual details.

"Swirly" redirects here. For the convicted child pornographer, see Christopher Paul Neil.

awesome thx

The heel of the victim is trodden upon

jagger?

of these i'm gonna go with 'debagging' tho, obv

Notable incidents of mooning

teabagging is missing from this list
so is drawing on people with a permanant marker
so is putting the hand of a sleeping person in warm water to maket them pee (is this a real thing, by the way?)

those are all drunk-pranks tho

oh man, PEN 15 club is missing from this list

yeah good call on PEN 15

also that thing where someone gets on all fours behind another person's legs and then a third person pushes that person over

selling kids basil and telling 'em it's weed.

slapping the back of a person's knee

noogies

so is putting the hand of a sleeping person in warm water to maket them pee (is this a real thing, by the way?)

It has never been on QI, so I guess it is true.

noogies are really the magnum opus of bullies - pure domination and humiliation scraped directly into yr skull

a successful pantsing is def the most embarrassing on this list, or maybe a swirly, but that seems like a relic from the 80s or something

I've never known anybody who's been the victim of a swirlie, seems like something done at boarding schools

debagging? always knew that as yoking ("Mark got yoked in gym class!").

we used to call it shanking

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

murder

Voted "shoe lacing." In high school my friends and I were pretty into hanging out in hotels and taking advantage of their free (for paying customers) coffee, tea, juice, etc. Obviously a bunch of teenage weirdos in trenchcoats and wacky hats were not hotel customers, and one night an employee came up to us and told us she was calling the cops on us if we weren't out in the next minute. We all stood up at once, and then I slipped and fell because Evan had sneaked under the table and tied the shoes of all eight people together. The combo of goofy slapstick surprise/hurt face/hurt pride/threatening authority is a favorite memory.

Voting noogie just because of Wikipedia saying it is Sometimes called a Monkey Scrub, Hippo Handing or Russian Haircut.

Oh, debagging is dacking! I was so confused.

oh man, PEN 15 club is missing from this list

WTF IS PEN 15?

Also: No cow brains, no credibility.

Just looked up Pen 15 club and yeah, I remember a similar thing from my school days. Don't think it lasted more than a week, as we got wise to it pretty quickly.

u ever rub a ballpoint pen on a desk really fast, then press the frictionheated nib to a dude's neck?

One really mean trick I heard tell of at school: sliding a broom handle through the sleeves of someone's sweater and then hanging them along a row of clothes hooks, effectively crucifying the victim.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

pranks I recall:
flipping up the plastic bit on someone's backpack strap so their backpack falls off (I think this might have been called "ganking")
a prank that I'm pretty sure was unique to my school: people would walk up to you, karate chop your neck and say "guilt"
also slapping the back of someone's neck "rednecking"
rubbing the cap end of a pen across someone's back and flipping it at the last minute so the person thinks you just drew a line on their shirt
of course there was the all time classic prank of waiting for someone to finish writing something on their computer and then kicking the plug before they had a chance to save

We had a weird one I recall in primary school called "safteys, slugs, no rebounds", that somehow involved chasing each other to deal out punches, unless you hollered "safteys!!!" or er... I dont know. It no longer makes a lick of sense to me.

people would walk up to you, karate chop your neck and say "guilt"

this is indeed unique.

The "Circle game" was big at my school when I was 13-14. The one in the Wikipedia article, not the one ledge was thinking of. With extra rules like if you made a circle with 2 hands it was 10 punches. And you had to mark your victim's arm by crossing with an X where you were going to punch, and if you forgot, you got punched instead. And so on.

I also got "swirlied" a couple of times which was called bogwashing. My wife thought that was something that only happened in movies.

Trayce's post reminds me of the game "Safety", in which a person has to say "safety" after they fart. If they don't say "safety", someone else can call "doorknob" and then it's basically everybody's duty to beat the farter until he/she can touch a doorknob.

spell icup

Are you PT?

just used to beat ppl up tbh, suspicious of 'pranks'.

Tho there was a craze for a while of flicking yr hand from a casual position by yr side to connect with the target's sac, it was known, iirc, as 'the flick of the sac'. The week after riverdance i remember a notable variant whereby somebody announced the riverflick, jigged in front of the gawping victim while making generic fiddle noises before kicking them in the nuts. That were good, that.

i may or may not have been the 'somebody'

ah, i was just about to mention our take on the flick of the sac. i don't think we had a name for it tho. we just liked slapping each other in the balls, no frills needed.

hard to claim it as a local custom without throwin a name on it imo

WTF IS PEN 15?

hahahaha

PEN 15
mightier than the sword

would be good to get a run-down of each entry to see if bellyslaps are covered under a difft name

there was a little bit of "guilt" at my middle school but nowhere near as much as pantsing, pantsing was epidemic and we had an assembly about it

kancho sounds great, especially if you yell KANCHOOOOOOOOOOOOO while doing it

"With slit ribbons of his shirt whipping the air he hops and hobbles round the table, with trousers down at heels, chased by Ades of Magdalen with the tailor’s shears. A scared calf’s face gilded with marmalade. I don’t want to be debagged! Don’t you play the giddy ox with me!" - james joyce

ha ha yeah our vp took the entire second yr boys group into the lunchroom mid-october '95 and explained to us that , while he had no problem with the bellyslapping of first years in principle, the epidemic was becoming widespread enough to cause concern amongst parents and he didn't need the heat- he then told us to manage it ourselves or else.

We didn't have a formal class on politics, but tbh it may well have been redundant after that
