Tainting the Blanket

Those of you who follow me over here know that I was gifted the most fabulous thing in the world the other day…a snuggie!

I love this new blanket.  I’m actually wearing it right now as I type this post.  Nice and toasty warm with the computer on my lap and not a bit of me cold.

Just out of curiosity, and because I didn’t know which word I would define today, okay, and out of sheer boredom (and yes I know this is a major run-on sentence, leave me alone) I went to Urban Dictionary and typed in the word snuggie.

I wasn’t surprised when the definition came up as

snuggie a blanket with sleeves

What I was totally surprised at was further down the page, it is defined as

snuggie A condition experienced when your underwear rides up the crack of you ass. Giving someone a snuggie by pulling on the waistband of their underwear is a favorite schoolyard prank of latent homosexuals posing as bullies OR a wedgie; term commonly used in the late 1970's and early 1980's

WHAT?  Have you ever heard of it called a snuggie?  I have only EVER heard it called a wedgie.  Am I living under a rock or something?  Someone, please tell me my blanket is not tainted by the acts of a schoolyard bully.  Please?  Anyone?

Never heard it called a snuggie, just a wedgie. Must be a family thing, not really a regional one.

Wow, I am living under a rock too!

NEVER heard that one before! Wedgies and atomic wedgies are the only names I've ever heard. Snuggie is too nice of a word to describe that!
