The act of surprising a friend or new neighbor by breaking into their house while they are shopping. Upon their return home, you and your friends stab said homeowner with sharp objects (preferably knives or claws) followed by a hearty "Surprise!". Traditionally ends in laughter and a hospital trip.
We gave Tom a New Englander's Welcome the other day. He's in the E.R. now, but boy was he happily surprised!
