Nipwepweiaa (nipwepwe) - the Chuukese "love stick". Something now from days gone by, young men would carve two wooden "love sticks" with identical personal designs. A short one would be displayed in his hair. A longer one would be given to the woman of his adoration.
The tradition went that when a man liked a woman he would openly display the short love stick by day so that the woman would become familiar with his stick pattern. Then at night, he would go to her thatch hut and push the carved stick through the wall to snag her hair. The woman could then feel the design of the stick, and if she recognized it as from a man she liked, she could tug on the stick signaling for him to come in. If she did not care for the man, she simply shoved the stick back through the wall.
