Female genital mutilation. And the cultural reason for it.

I see it on football players... That fraternity branding.
Nope. Not doing that

After watching part of that video, it makes me wonder if this is where the Bud Light what's up commercial came from

I genuinely believe A&M is the perfect answer to this question.

Almost all the others I can reconcile, they're old practices developed in isolation, they're gross/cringeworthy but you understand the mentality of how they developed (for example, running of the gumps), they're not really overtly celebrated as cultural but they nonetheless persist as though they are (kids out of wedlock, gang affiliations, disregard for life).

But A&M and the corps in particular is different. A tradition rich place has developed and continues to develop bizarre, effeminate, and outright uncomfortable homoerotic traditions that could easily have been created without the gay innuendo.

All of our schools have old practices that seem cheesy now, but there is just no way the farmers and military men of prior generations were conducting themselves like this, right?

I saw one once at a wedding in Del Ray, Florida. It was weird and cool at the same time.

Yeah. It's historically a war challenge. Don't know how that fits in at a wedding.

All Blacks/Fiji/Samoa/Tonga rugby teams doing it before a rugby match will always be cool.

Baylor rugby doing it before playing LSU? Lame. (They got crushed).



I believe if you look at the video it's from a wedding of an All Blacks Rugby team member


it was a team celebration as much as anything


I've seen so many pictures of a Tiger Stadium grooms-cake since I associated with u people

Lent. Nothing like watching some baw pat himself on the back for not eating meat 4 days out of the entire year. If they actually fasted it would be one thing, but instead they eat a $45 seafood platter or 15lbs of boiled crawfish and think they just got the keys to heaven.

Walking around with their pants at your knees

Painting their house pink, purple, neon green or any other way out there color.

Driving around in theircrown Vic , with the music( if you call it that) loud enough to be heard three streets over while your hoodie is over your head….

Parking their escalade in the handicap parking spot when your only handicap is stupidity.

Walking in the street and not getting out of the way of on coming traffic.

Throwing trash , no matter the amount every where they go and live.
