Impractical piece of jewelry, most often forcibly inserted into the lower earlobe where it then hangs. Most often used by
girls with a
single "earing" in each ear, sometimes also used excessively - by girls or guys - with mixed results.
Statistics have shown that
people identifying themselves as "gothic" or "emo" have are 150% more likely to have multiple earings.
In
the book "Diary" Peter's friend ripped his earing out, severing his earlobe into
two pieces, resembling a snake's
tongue.
