Teabagging
Teabagging is a slang term for the act of a man placing his testicles, specifically the scrotum, in the mouth[1] or face of another person, often in a repeated in-and-out
motion.[2] The practice vaguely resembles dipping a
tea bag into a cup of tea[3][4][5]
The practice
An example of teabagging is shown in the movie Pecker by John Waters,[6][7] which showed a male stripper repeatedly striking a man's forehead, and purportedly introduced the practice of teabagging to a wider audience.[6]
It has also been reported as a practice in hazing[8] among athletic teams. This is described in an article by Robert DeKoven from Gay and Lesbian Times.[9]
| “ | One such story involved what school officials termed a hazing incident, which involved
three varsity wrestlers and three coaches at ... High School near Chicago. The school suspended the wrestlers and coaches
for a hazing incident that involved the “tea-bagging” of several freshman wrestlers.
Cyd Zeigler Jr. reports that the incident occurred on a bus trip home last year on Dec. 1. ... According to the Daily Southtown, the three varsity wrestlers pulled freshmen, one by one, to the back of the bus. There, two of the boys held each boy down as the third boy shoved his testicles in the freshman’s face. |

Big Brother Australia
Big Brother Australia 2006 was thrown into controversy when two housemates, Michael "Ashley" Cox and Michael "John" Bric were removed from the house after performing a turkey slap[10] on female housemate Camilla Halliwell.
On the July 6 2006 episode of the AFL Footy Show, the opening skit parodied the Big Brother incident, with Sam Newman depicted in the house, lying on a bed, with James Brayshaw. Newman exclaimed, "You're not going to turkey slap me are you?", at which point Brayshaw unleashed a frozen turkey and slapped Newman across the face. A skit on the July 7 2006 episode of The Chaser's War on Everything featured co-host Julian Morrow asking people what they thought of "turkey slapping," and then presented them with an actual frozen turkey to slap. This episode was replayed on August 1, 2007 as part of the 10 week repeats for the show.[11]
