    Melvin is a surname, and a masculine given name derived from the surname. The surname probably arose as a variant of Melville, recorded as early as in the 12th century (as de Maleuin), in the 16th century as Melwin. The Scottish surname is recorded in colonial America in the late 17th century. The given name is recorded since the at least the 1870s (Melvin R. Laird, Sr. 1877-1946).

  • Wedgie

    A wedgie is the act of forcibly pulling a person’s underwear upwards from the back. The act is often performed as a school prank or a form of bullying.

    Wedgies are commonly featured in popular works, either as a form of low comedy or as a behaviour representative of bullying. In such works, briefs are usually the type of underpants that are worn by the victim.
