Subject: RE: Origins: Shave and a Haircut (Two Bits)
Knocked on wooden wall of barack type camp cabins in the dark.
It would send young 11 - 14 y.o. boys into gales of laughter as it was interpreted as ....
Give Me a BJ
Responce ....... OK
Those were also the times of:
Titty Whistle (grab a boys specs and do not let go until he whistles.)
Bull Weep (grab between the biceps muscles and pull up fast and hard - of course it hurts but the muscle does a peculiar, slow motion cramp and rise-up spasm.)
Pink Belly - (hold a kid down and quickly slap his belly until it turned red)
Indian Burn (spit into you hand and rub it quickly, in a circle on the victim's fore-arm. It gets hot and leaves the almost invisible hair in tight knots)
Milk a Mouse (press the little finger joint down and back into itself - excruciating pain that will drop you to your knees)
Dumpster - (press the back corner of books being carried under the arm)
Clumsy - (knell behind someone while their friend pushes them back)
Wedgies and Atomic Wedgies
The beauty of these, and a dozen more is that the person will have usually willingly OK'd / consented to "the joke."
In today's world PC...(and cry baby losers) such actions might be construed as bullying but they were just part of childhood in the 50's.
