Wedgie

Wedgie \WEJ-ee\ , noun;
1. The condition of having one's underpants or other clothing uncomfortably stuck between the buttocks

What a modern word. Wedgie is first attested in 1977 and it's a combination of wedge + -y. There's another wedgie, which is attested from 1940 and it means "wedge-heeled shoe."
