atomic wedgies

Painful prank extreme

An atomic wedgie is an extreme version of a wedgie—pulling someone's underwear up from behind—taken to the point where the waistband is stretched over the victim's head.

The term appears mainly in schoolyard threats and comedy: He threatened to give me an atomic wedgie.

The "atomic" intensifier suggests maximum force and humiliation.
