The successor to the spitball, not as gross but infinitely more painful. A hornet is a folded piece of paper, bullet-like in appearance, which is
shot from an elastic
band stretched between the thumb and index
finger, at bare skin and unsuspecting heads. Very useful for sending notes with the added bonus of annoying the hell out of the receiver. Usually favored and obsessed over by militaristic kids who love practicing their
head-shots/nut-shots on quiet kids or SPEDs. They can also be recycled for use as spitballs.
