bizutage universitaire Explanation: I'm not sure how best to translate "old" but I really think this is "bizutage" rather than just any old "blague" to make everyone laugh. My Collins & Robert has this to say about "bizutage": "This usually involves being subjectged to light-hearted ordeals by one's new classmates, but can degenerate into humiliating and cruel pranks". Personally, I don't class holding a knife to the throat of a sleeping person as a joke - at least, I wouldn't see it that way personally. |
