"Traditionally, boys throw water over girls and spank them with pussy willow branches on Easter Monday, and girls do the same to boys on Easter Tuesday. This is accompanied by a number of other rituals, such as making verse declarations and holding door-to-door processions, in some regions involving boys dressed as bears. The origins of the celebration are uncertain, but it may date to pagan times (before 1000 AD); it is described in writing as early as the 15th century." from Wiki

As a historical note, Jesse Woodson James (the noted robber) did not cuss, so his favorite "cuss word" was "Dingus!".

"Dingus" was also his family nickname. Call someone that today and see what happens.

I believe they have a large water fight at the Bloomfield Tavern on Dingus Day. Here in Pittsburgh.
