Came across an exciting new pastime today, don’t know why I hadn’t seen it before.
Happy Corner, also known as Aluba (”hitting the tree” in Taiwan), or Pole-racking in Great Britain, is a practice in which a person’s groin is ‘cornered’ rudely against a pole-shaped solid object.
Happy Corner is also a growing phenomenon in residence halls, and has become increasingly accepted to mark a male resident’s birthday. Happy Corner is then performed along with a song parodying Happy Birthday to You, with the lyrics changed to “Happy Corner to You”.
