The atomic wedgie has long been banned in what is normally termed "the civilized world". As for noogies, that's when you put someone in a headlock and vigorously rub your knuckles against the hair on their scalp with your free hand...a form of aggravated assault dreaded by pre-schoolers and those in the early grades. Then there's the old nose-tweak, the ear twist and the fingers in the eyes routine, a la the Three Stooges.

Dreadful stuff!
