British & Commonwealth slang): Remove someone's trousers by force to humiliate him, a popular practice among teenage boys as an initiation rite or a punishment for someone who has made himself unpopular. Victims are almost always male as detrousering can be regarded as symbolic emasculation. Traditionally most debaggings were carried out by males, but the presence of girls as onlookers or participants adds to the humiliation, and evidence suggests an ncreasing tendancy for girls to take the law, and the trousers, into their own hands. After the victim's trousers are removed they may be returned to him, thrown around while he tries to retrieve them, or placed in an inaccessible or public place.
(1) New boys are always debagged in their first week.

(2) The older girls were well aware of the effectiveness of debagging in dealing with arrogant boys.

Words you can keep
Irish practical joke
To covertly acquire someones schoolbag, turn it inside out, replace the contents and return the bag to owner, without them noticing.
To really go for it, you can also turn their pencil cases, folders and even sandwiches inside out. When properly executed, there is no prank like a good debagging.
Warning: Debagging someone can trigger a wave of retalitory debaggings, which can trigger a full scale "debagging war" within the entire school. Some particurally epic wars have been known to go on for several weeks.
For the ultimate thrill, try debagging a teacher during class!!!
That wank-stain John just debagged me.
Want to start a debagging war?

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
