in north staffordshire – england, “mullygrubbing” is a form of punisment, usually given by an older brother to a younger sibling. a kind of bullying. to mullygrub someone you must get the victim into a position whereby there head is clasped between your upper-legs, face forward, scalp to you. then you rub your knuckles agressively into their hair for several seconds – even a minute or two has been known. ask my younger sister!
