American college game Explanation: Fraternities are 'brotherhoods', sort of semi-secret societies of guys at US colleges (very competitive among themselves: everyone student's ambition is to be in the top one and invite the best-looking girl to the 'Prom'). So this is probably a silly game where they have to hit someone's bottom with a 'paddle', a flat piece of wood (like a large ping-pong bat). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-26 23:32:56 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PS. A \'wedgie\' (see other question) is a \'game\' where you go around pulling someone\'s shirt so it gets stuck in his bottom |
