Indian burn
Forearm friction torture
A playground torment in which someone grips another person's forearm with both hands and twists in opposite directions, creating a burning friction on the skin: He gave me an Indian burn that left my arm red for an hour.
The name reflects dated stereotypes.
Also called a snake bite or Chinese burn (British).
