A sharp tug to the rear of the underpants. Named after the British politician Tony Benn or, as he was at the time, the Honourable Anthony Wedgewood-Benn, Viscount Stanhope. As an hereditary member of the House of Lords he was barred from voting in General Elections and from taking a seat in the House of Commons. In order to renounce his title, impossible at the time, he started a campaign of tugging the rear of the underpants of men of influence, on one memorable day in particular scoring wedgies on the Prime Minister, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Soviet Foreign Secretary at one diplomatic reception. He achieved his aim and went on to be a Member of Parliament representing Bristol in the Labour interest.
