A delightfully idiotic, wildly immature ambush in which you ask a walking companion, “Do you know George?” Then, without mercy or hesitation, you launch them into the nearest bush like a human lawn dart. Bonus points if it’s thorny, muddy, or in front of someone
attractive. Double bonus points if they lose a shoe, spill a coffee, cry, or land on discarded vape cartridges. Elite-level players scream “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!” while fleeing the scene like a war criminal avoiding international court.
Cultural Note: Despite the name, this has
nothing to do with the presidents—unless you're also referring to unsolicited invasions,
questionable judgment, or getting wrecked in foreign terrain.
Regional Variations:
* Philly Bushwhack: Same move, but the bush is replaced with a trash pile and the assailant shouts, “E-A-G-L-E-S!” while doing it.
*
University of Delaware “Blue Hen Bush Special”: The perp waits until the victim is drunk off Natty Light and Wawa sandwiches, then screams “YO YOU KNOW GEORGE?” and flings them into a bush outside Perkins Student Center. Often followed by campus police pretending not to care because it’s Tuesday.
* The Portland Pruner: Done while wearing flannel and sipping ethically sourced cold brew. Victim must apologize after being shoved for blocking the bike lane.
"Rachel asked Maggie if she knew George, then full-body tackled her into a
goddamn holly bush. She knows George now. Intimately. And he’s a prick."
“Bro, I was vibing after a bong rip and Parker hit me with
a George Bush—now I’ve got a branch in my ass and
trust issues for life.”
