wet willy

Saliva ear intrusion

A wet willy is the prank of licking your finger and inserting it into someone's ear, twisting for maximum discomfort.

It's juvenile mischief—common among siblings and schoolchildren: My brother gave me a wet willy during the car ride.

The unpleasantness comes from the combination of wetness, invasion of a sensitive space, and the gross-out factor.
