wedgie

Schoolyard bully's specialty

A wedgie is the uncomfortable condition of having underwear or other clothing ride up and bunch in the crack of the buttocks.

As a prank, giving someone a wedgie means grabbing their underwear from behind and yanking upward: The older kids gave him a wedgie in the locker room.

An atomic wedgie pulls the waistband over the victim's head.
