@Makar> And in Japanese, Wedge is 楔 (kusabi). It sounds cool, too ;)
And in Spanish it's "cuña", rolls off my tongue quite nicely.  :lol:

It also signifies people's(*cough*) mentality to beat the crap out of someone with a wedge
The way it's meant to be

I did a google image search on "Wedge" and then I realise that SafeSearch was turned off, it was kinda funny actually. :lol:

Ya, sorry to say it struck me funny, too. I sure could do with a forum system with fewer angervations than SMF, but if I get a Wedge, do I get a wedgie?



Am I stepping out on the wedge with this?

I tried that one before and no, wedgie is only used in the States, cultural barriers!

I've had my share of bullying when I was a kid (wiz kid -- small village -- you do the math), but never went through a wedgie myself. First time I saw one was probably on the Simpsons. Took many more years to learn of the name. So yeah, it never occurred to me... Probably because it's not even pronounced the same way at all :whistle:
