A clandestine drinking contest where a number of participants choose to insert their fist into their rectum before proceeding to hop down a bartop. Anywhere from nine to twenty shots are evenly spaced along the bar. The contestant must drink each shot without spilling liquor or removing the fist. This can continue for subsequent rounds, with the number of shots decreasing, and the space between each shot increasing, until a clear winner has been determined.

Compared to the other pussy versions of the Gauntlet, this version involves teams of four with two guys and two girls. The Gauntlet is extremely similar to other definitions cept at NU, it involves drinking a fifth of smirnoff, a 30-rack, two j's, a large pizza, and finally finishing an 100-piece puzzle, all in that order.
Students gather in groups of four to compete in a drinking/smoking game known as the Gauntlet.

A ritual usually performed for initiation or as a punishment in waterpolo. All the players line up to form a corridor, and one player attempts to swim through. This player is then kicked and punched as he tries to swim through. Common injuries from this include broken ribs, concussions and internal bleeding in the rectum.
How the fuck did you miss that shot, that deserves a gauntlet!

Patient: Nah I just joined a waterpolo club and had to run the gauntlet.

Medieval hand protection. Two variations were finger gauntlets, comprised of steel over the top of the hand and individual, articulated plates of steel over the fingers to give movement for sword and Bill. The other variation were Mitts, same steel over the hand, but just one plate or slightly curved steel over the fingers, instead of the articulation. Gloves were worn underneath the metal, for grip on the weapons and general protection.Could be plain, or highly decorated, depending on the period and the fashions of the time.
The soldier slipped his hands into his gauntlets.
