What does WEDGIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A shoe whose heel and sole form one continuous wedge-shaped block, or a prank in which a person's underwear is yanked upward.
Fashion writers use the word wedgie for shoes with a solid wedge under the whole foot instead of a thin separate heel, a style that returns every few summers. In playground and schoolyard slang the same word names a rough joke played on someone, and that sense is why the footwear meaning is sometimes spelled out for clarity. Context nearly always makes plain which of the two is meant.

The shoe sense is neutral; the prank sense is informal and mostly heard among schoolchildren.
