pantsings
Pulling trousers down
Pantsings are instances of pulling someone's pants down as a prank or humiliation, typically done suddenly and without warning.
The act is most associated with schoolyard mischief, locker rooms, and juvenile hazing rituals.
The viral video showed a series of pantsings at the high school pep rally.
While often played for laughs, pantsings can constitute harassment or assault depending on context.
