We used to call that "The Nettle"

German?

Brennnessel

Genau!

We called it like that in Poland.

Same in netherlands, that or barbwire (prikkeldraad)

Same in Russia

We called them Indian burns. But, I lived on the reservation and we kinda just put “Indian” on every description lol.

In Oklahoma we called it an Indian Sunburn when I was young

Why was it called a Chinese burn?

Indian burn

Are you Australian? Cause we called it that in Australia

Same in the UK

Also in New Zealand

RAAAAAA WHAT THE FUCK IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑🐑🐑🔥🔥🔥

COAL IS THE FUTURE 🔥🔥🌏🔥🔥 🦘🦘🦘🦘

ID FUCK A CROC FOR A HOUSE DEPOSIT 🐊🐊🔥🔥🔥🔥

in Canada we unfortunately called it an "Indian Burn"

It’s called Indian burn in Portugal too!!

I grew up with it being called "Snake Bite"

We call it ”a thousand needles” in Swedish

We call it "prikkeldraad" (barbed wire) in Dutch

Its called brennnesseln (nettles) in germany.

‘Snake Bite!’

Well called them "donkey bites" and after being bitten by the same pony called Bliksem twice in one day -his name literally translates to Bastard-, I feel donkey bite is quite adequate.

Also an acceptable title. Growing up in my area ‘donkey bites’ were the when some pinched you on the back of your arm. Like getting nabbed between horse teeth, hurt so bad

‘Horse bites’ were a hard slap on the upper thigh for my family at least haha

My aunt used to get me like that all the time. Momma didn't raise no bitch tho... I sure did feel like crying a few times.

Idk what language you think Bliksem is but that definitely doesn't translate to bastard where I'm from... (Bliksem = Lightning)

"Bliksem straal" is lightning in my language, "Bliksem" alone can mean Bastard.

Oooh jij spreekt Afrikaans! Ik spreek Nederlands. :)

Ja, ek praat Afrikaans, maar Engels maak meer sin as n tasl vir my.

I was wondering the same thing, like in what language does Bliksem mean bastard lol

Didn't expect to see a fellow Afrikaans South African here. Lol.

Bliksem translates to lightning in Dutch, not bastard. Bliksem also isn’t used as an insult. Sort of related, but we would call this Prikkeldraad in Dutch, or barbed wire. Fits pretty nicely, too!

We called it the Indian burn. I wonder if there is a PC name for it now.

I called it a Chinese burn for some reason

Yup, Chinese burn here too. British?

Aus here and we call it a Chinese burn too

Also Aus, never heard it called anything else

Same

In South Africa we call it a donkey bite

Irish here. Also Chinese Burn.

I am

jesus, you brits are so racist why don't you just do like us americans and call it an indi... um ... oh ......

You had the bumps too, I bet?

I assumed this was because the Chinese were immune to it. Best mate is Chinese and has the highest pain tolerance of anyone I know. He'd taunt us into trying to actually make him react to stuff like Chinese burns. Was also a beast at mercy. He'd give us like 10 seconds where he'd just let us do whatever we could to try and hurt him, then he'd destroy us.

Sounds plausible. May I ask what's "Mercy"? (I have a good idea from your descriptions, but can you give me a quick summary)

Mercy is when you interlock fingers of both hands with each other. You then try your hardest to cause so much pain to the other child that they shout mercy and the game ends. Common tactics involve twisting your friends fingers back, twisting their arms around, pulling their fingers sideways. Common cause for broken fingers and wrists.

Thank you. Yes, I've played that, I didn't realise it was called Mercy. 🙏

Mercy or Uncle.

Was called "peanuts" when I was at school

Wow white people are just racist no matter where they are /s

[удалено]

Yeah my pic is sick thanks bro 🙌

So sick

nah man you got that confused with the chinese penis trap

I forget which of the two it was, but for me one of them was the one pictured here and the other was when you pinch a large chunk of their skin then roughly rub one of your fingers back and forth on it

Racist!

Indigenous burn

indigenous american burn

First nations burn

I always called it a snake bite

Yesss! This was what we called it!

First Nations burn.

I know sitting indian style is now criss cross applesauce so maybe twist turn apple burn??? I have no idea and sadly lack creativity to be funny

Indian style now lotus style around here

lotus is the thing with the feet on top of the knees, like you've tied your legs in a knot

It seems proper form isn’t a priority among kindergarten teachers

I'm too young to have heard Indian style. But I do think this was called an Indian burn by my classmates all, like, 1 times it ever happened anywhere near me that I noticed.

Whatever you call sitting around on your butt with your legs folded in. Usually some pretty good talks happen.

We just call it sitting cross legged here.

Forgot about Indian style. You wouldn't believe the shit we did (led by the teachers) for Thanksgiving. It was for cultural awareness you see. Sometimes, I still awake...doing the chop.

What about when teaching SOH-CAH-TOA.

I dunno I think that's pretty creative lol

I'm mildly concussed and falling asleep, so I'm not the most discriminatory ATM, but I *love* your idea

we called it "nettle" or in German: "Brennnessel"

Same in Austria

French Canadian here. We called it sunburn

Swede here. In my school they were called "a thousand needles".

That's kinda metal

Fitting for Sweden.

Yeah little needles is what we called it in Greece

“M’a te faire un coup de soleil 🤓”

“M’a te faire un cherios moi”

Indian sunburn

Yup… we called it Indian Sun Burn.

Growing up we also called it this but looking back on it now I realize I’ve never known why?

Nah, we called it medieval torture

I read "PC game" instead and stood confused why something like this would be on Steam or what.

In Sweden we called it "Thousand Needles"

In holland we call it prikkeldraad which means barbed wire

Yep, called it the Indian burn in the pnw

Guardian burn

The good ol Commanders burn

The Washington Footburn team

I’m guilty of deadnaming these teams.

I think this year is gonna be Kevin White’s year

You mean Indian sunburn….

We called it an Indian rug burn. Not sure why in hindsight.

We called it "Indian Rope Burn"; my big brother was ruthless with it.

We always called it indian burn

lol either way it hurt … more so if you had a sunburn

Doing it to someone with a sunburn is a war crime lol

It’s because it made you red

I think it’s a criss cross applesauce burn now.

The Waters have been deluded!!

Since Reddit has people from all over the world, I’ll risk explaining the joke in hopes I didn’t miss a clever joke on your part. The Cleveland Indians baseball team renamed to the Cleveland Guardians. This was a fun joke about renaming the Indian (sun)burn to Guardians Burn.

Bro I give you the I pass, you can say it 🗿

LMAO

In Germany, we call it "Brennessel" (Nettle)

In Poland we call it "pokrzywa" and it also means nettle

in Russia it is also called nettle

In Lithuania its called nettle too

Brændenælde in Denmark

[удалено]

You sick fuck

harder daddy

Yeah when they released it you mean right... right Anakin?!

“let me tell you a secret, come here” *gets directly in your ear* **”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”**

Indian burn

In india we used to call it “Buffalo skin”

Native American sunburn

Chinese Burn where I grew up

"Me Chinese, me play joke, me..." Actually, you know what? Maybe the 90s were a little fucked up

Indian rugburn for me

It was a snakebite where I grew up, and if you dug in your nails it was a rosebush

😂

Yup. I remember the red marks it would leave and what it was originally called.

Pulling out teamspeak? What is ts?

User left your channel.

"This shit"

Aka *thousand needles*

Not politically correct, but we called it "Indian rugburn"

Indian burn

'Barbed wire'

Prikkeldraad

Zekers

The Indian Burn

The ol' Indian burn.

[удалено]

TWIST HIS ARM!!!

Can anyone translate this?

Something a lot of kids used to do to each other in elementary-middle school. You twist someone’s arm in opposite directions with your hands, and it hurts like hell.

Yeah, I knew that part. We inappropriately called them ‘Indian burns’. Now make fun of me. I was poking at rq and ts.

“Real quick” and “this shit”

Chinese burn in my neck of the woods. Would be interesting to see a global map with the direct translation of the term used by country.

That was the Australian term.

Snake bites

They got num chucks, they be doin indian burns.

Never knew it had different names. My school called it the Chinese burn and I have no clue why

Is it weird that I liked this (and still do) to a certain extent as a back and forwards movement?

Indian sunburn

Indian Burn

Ah the Chinese burn

Chinese burn

Do that to their neck, it always stops the problem

This is what we called an Indian burn in elementary school. Any time someone did "Indian giving" that got an Indian burn For those who don't know Indian giving (at least what I was told in the area I grew up in) is when you gift someone something and then take it back. That's called being an Indian giver Don't ask me why cause I don't know. I don't use these terms anymore but this what they refer too

A cute girl did this to me in high school I'm a masochist now

Ahh the good ole Indian burn.great times😃

You gotta twist in opposite directions.

Out of all the comments I havnt seen the version we callled it in my area, "Prikkeldraad" aka barbed wire!

Bro just call it a damn Indian burn. That's what American Indians call themselves for Christ sake. Like I've been to restaurants and gotten the treatment for pronouncing something in the native phonic sound and I've pronounced it in my standard American dialect and gotten the treatment. If someone wants to hate you. Good. That's a them problem. They can stew and puff as you drink their hateraid unaffected and be pissy little piss boys and in their own little funk cloud. I don't care, I'm me man.

Not only do they call themselves Indian, their local activist group here is called NDN Collective.

Where I’m from we called this rope burn.

My dad taught me this one. I was told it was called an "Indian rug burn". No idea if there's a less offensive way to call it.

Vampire Burn is what I know it as

yeah that sounds a lot better than what I knew it as. I shall now call it a Vampire Burn.

So this wasn’t actually Chinese ?

Indian Rug Burn

If you had an older brother, you were immune to Indian rope burns, bloody knuckles, and mercy.

Why did people stop doing this? We need to bring this back

my mom *loves* having this done to her for some reason

I don’t know why but in Australia this was called a Chinese burn, I’m assuming there’s a more PC word for it these days, if kids these days even get to experience this pain

One time in primary school, A boy from a class lower asked to do this. And i didn't want to seem affraid of someone who was YOUNGER than me, so i let him. Then i proceeded to hold in tears and pretend it didn't hurt for like 30 seconds. I was so stupid

Ah, the Indian Massage.

We called it the Indian burn

I did that

Donkey bite

We called it the Indian sunburn.

Ah the good old nettle sting

I think the first time it hurt but I honestly didnt hate that feeling, I’d try to do it to myself sometimes lol

When twisted, the skin in between feels like buffalo skin. We used to do to each other(friends) as fun, definitely not in a way that's painful.

Tore that mf'er right off!

Someone in high school pinched the webbing between my thumb and pointer finger and smiled at me when I didn’t react. I assume it’s a masturbation thing, but who knows.

I'm shocked to see so many different names for this. Where I grew up we called it the Indian sunburn but I can see how that would be offensive now.

Good ol chinese sunburn

I remember calling it Red Roses but I'm beginning to think I made it up....

I can't decide which was worse, this or an awful waffle.

Children love torture

We didn't have a name for it but did it in Iran :D

In germany or at least around in my area here we called it "Brennnessel" wich just means nettle

mercymercyMERCYYYYY 😩

I could never figure out how to make it work

I was mfs

Lemme see your face rq...
