Pantsing, also known as depantsing, debagging, dacking, flagging, sharking, and scanting, is the act of pulling down a person's trousers and sometimes underpants, usually against their wishes, and typically as a practical joke or a form of bullying, but in other instances as a sexual fetish.
Pantsing is a more common prank and occurs mainly in schools.[1][2] Some U.S. colleges before World War II were the scenes of large-scale "depantsing" scraps between freshman and sophomore males, often involving more than 2,000 participants.[3] It is also an initiation rite in fraternities[4] and seminaries.[5] It was cited in 1971 by Gail Sheehy as a form of assault against grade school girls, which did not commonly get reported, although it might include improper touching and indecent exposure by the perpetrators.[6] The United States legal system has prosecuted it as a form of sexual harassment of children.[7]
