An act, usually performed by a male, characterized by the placement of one's scrotum into the mouth of another. Originally coined by angry American colonists who, in response to the unforgiving
Tea Act of 1773, retaliated by boarding
British ships in the Boston Harbor dressed as Native Americans (see Indians) and proceeded to
dip their scrotums into the mouths of British seamen. Because this embarrassing act resembled the brewing of
tea and was coupled with the British fondness for fine
tea, colonists began to name this act "teabagging."
By the late nineteenth century, hostilities with Great Britain had diminished in
America. Since the founding of
America, teabagging has remained a strong humiliation and has only grown more popular. At the Geneva Convention of 1949, British diplomats appealed to change the name of this event from "The Boston Teabag Party" to "The Boston Tea Party," removing all negative associations to the now pariah act of teabagging.
Navajo Chief: We accept your
peace offering, Washington. In return, the spirits will grant you a swift victory over the British. We will now demonstrate the ancient technique of teabagging.
George Washington: Astounding teabagging, gentlemen. The Redcoats will surely repeal these taxes on our
tea!
