The Great Debate.....

[Mackenzie]

Ok...my boyfriend and I have been debating this for days!!! So I need some input from outsiders....

What is it called when someone pulls your pants down in School?

Please respond with your "term" and the state you went to highschool in.

My research up to this point leads me to believe that each state has it's own term. I've called friends in 3 different states and gotten 3 different responses.

I'm posting a poll of our 2 "terms" to see which is used more!

[wyndhy]

if someone pulls down your pants you've been "pants-ed" not very creative i guess, but it is direct :D

[osuche]

de-pants-ed LOL (OH)

[Mackenzie]

So far I've got

VA-shanked
TN-Shucked
NY-Flagged
Everywhere else-Pantsed/depantsed!

LOL! Might be a southern thing!

[PantyFanatic]

"pants-ed" is what it was called in The Western Reserve also. (It wasn't called Ohio until after I graduated :rolleyes2 )

[osuche]

See? ..."pants-ed" is the ancient and most authentic term :D

When I lived in New Jersey it was shanked.

Here in Pennsylvania it's either shanked or pantsed.

I'm guessing it's like the ole commercial...and they told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on and so on...and so as it travels up the coast and/or inland, it changes!

Ganked.


"bobby got his pants ganked today walking down the hall."
"Bobby's pants got ganked from his locker during gym and he had to walk around in his boxers all day."

Shuck. Tennessee

[Oldfart]

Dacked from the slang term dacks, meaning trousers, origin uncertain.

The Washington contingent checks in...

Kids in my school were Pantsed.

Shucked is something you did to corn.

Shanked? I dunno about that one.

Isnt' shanked what happens when you are stabbed in prison???

We always called it being depantsed... (Not that I ever did the depantsing.. lol)

[maddy]

I don't recall this being an occurrence in my HS. But I have heard the term pants-ed before (WI and TX)...
... And I'm with Aqua on this one, shuck is what you do to corn

[cherrypie7788]

LOL I had never even heard "pants-ed" before this. Interesting.

[Mercury_Maniac]

[sodaklostsoul]

De-pantsed is the only thing that comes to mind here in South Dakota. I just can't remember that far back. Don't think it ever happened in school.

[scotzoidman]

Here I TN I don't recall having a name for it, I picked up "shanked" after I was grown, er, ah, an adult, uhhh...aw, hell, after I wasn't legally a minor anymore...


..but I'm pleased that we're finally getting a discussion going on the really important issues of the day...this has been swept under the carpet long enough...

That is what my boyfriend said! LOL! I'm not sure why Shanked applies for both terms!!

I am so thankful for everyone's imput!

I have learned that Pantsed is the official term
That Shank is more common
And that Shucked is native to TN!!

All of my friends from HS in VA said Shank
And all of his friends in TN said Shuck!!

This is really fascinating! Thank you all on this very important matter!

Aqua

When corn is shucked (not a common Oz practice) don't you slide the husk down the head?

Shanked sounds as if may be a very old term, as the lower leg is the shank, and dragging

the trousers down to the shanks . . .

Sharni, must have been a Vic term as well as NSW.
