The research of Professor J. K. Chambers of the University of Toronto has revealed a striking difference in the nicknaming of this act: in the US, it is called a “wedgie”, but in Canada, a “gotchie”, which both comes from “gotch” for “underpants” (with Hungarian and eastern European source words) and is a pun.
