Sexual intercourse, more underground kinda talk

This was popularized by the characters Wayne and Garth in the "Wayne's World" sequences in the US television show Saturday Night Live. One character would say something, the other would say, "No way!" Then, "Way!" "No way!" "Way!" Back and forth. This has entered common usage to a degree that one can use the expression "Way!" to assert the truthfulness of something, even if the other person doesn't use the exact phrase, i.e., "No way!", "Is that true?", "Way!".

(ed: the film Waynes World 1 is still one of the all time greatest weirdo movies!)

Anus. Used as in being "up to wazoo" in something, i.e. metaphorically deeply involved as in "Up to the wazoo in the drug scene", or literally, as in "The basement had cockroaches up the wazoo." or "The pipe was leaking out the wazoo.".

The contributor heard this term in the 1980's in Brooklyn, when I worked for a real estate developer. He thinks it may be contractor slang, but has been around and in general use for a long time. At least back to the turn of the century.

Either urine itself, or the act of urinating. Basically an alternative to 'piss'. Used as "I'm going for a wazz". Seems to be more popular among females than males.

idiot, as in: ''You utter Wazzak.

Popularised by UK comedian Mike Harding. Question is, did he 'invent' the word or just use it??

An idiot, fool, twat. Possibly created by comedian Mike Harding during the 1970's.

The addition of 'gurt' i.e. great, signifies the person is extremely stupid; "Ah ya gurt wazzack".

Mutation of "What's up", which itself is a contraction in meaning of "Hello! What are you doing" Is anything interesting happening?".

Inadequate or displeasing, barely worth mentioning; "That high school party was beyond weak!".

When a girl wears a short cut shirt so part of her boobs are showing.

Male genitalia.

Large amount of half folded bank notes.

Humiliation where the undepants are pulled sharply upwards from behind, causing them to wedge themselves tightly up the victim's arse.

Variations:
• Pure wedgie: The victim is only wearing underpants when the attack occurs, thus inflicting a much greater amount of embarrassment than normal.
• Super wedgie: Pure wedgie but with the assailant then grabbing the crotch of the victim's underpants (from behind as it is exposed) and continuing to pull, resulting in the victim's genitals being revealed. (This is particularly embarrassing if the victim is not quite flaccid.)
• Wedgie war: All-against-all with lots of ganging up, normally in a swimming pool. A good attack is considered to be when the victim is lifted out of the water by his swimming togs to at least his knees. (Note that this activity can be very deleterious to the well-being of swimming togs.)
• Wedgie-proof: The victim's underpants are so stretchy that the wedgie doesn't hurt, or they are wearing Speedos, which tend to just stretch instead of heading painfully for the buttcrack. Can refer to the person or the apparel.

Atomic Wedgie: Trying to get the victims pants over their head.
Wedgies of the atomic variety tend to be a grey area, and are difficult to define. The childrens' cartoons of recent times tend to define "atomic wedgie" as a wedgie where the underpants are then pulled up to such an extend where the elastic band could then be put around the victim's head. This, of course, is pure bullshit, and cannot occur in the real world (unless, of course, the victim's underpants are made of that magical, NON-existing elastic). But this perhaps is the originator of the real-life atomic wedgie.

In attempt to achive a around-the-head-with-the-elastic-band state, one will pull the underpants of the victim to the point of ripping either the elastic band or the fabric of the underpants. Though some will argue that cartoons has nothing to do with this term, and that atomic wedgies have no intention of going around the head, but just to rip the underpants. Either way, I'm sure it sucks to get one of these. I like how I take the term "atomic wedgie" in an entirely serious manner.

We received the following communication from Andrew Jordan:
"I feel duty-bound to point out that you refer to the forceful pulling of pants up into an arse-crack as a 'wedgie' - as a purist, I think you should also include the UK term for the 'wedgie', namely the 'Johnny Clegg' or to 'Clegg' someone. You must have heard that?

(ed: err... no... sorry!)

A method of torture requiring a pole of some kind, e.g. a lamppost or signpost or similar. The victim would firstly be knocked to the ground somehow. Then two people would grab a leg each and pull the victims legs round opposite sides of the aforementioned pole so the victims genitals are wedged up against it.

A term of general abuse. Although a precise definition is elusive, it was clear from the term's daily usage in my school that the meaning was both specific and insulting. It was essential that the phrase 'you wedgy kegger' was uttered in a shrill, nasal tone, and it was broadly understood to have something to do with smelly pants, perhaps originating from the separate slang phrases 'kegs', meaning pants, and 'wedgies', i.e. the practice of yanking said pants right up the crack of one's unsuspecting victim.

Kids toy. Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.
