The pulling of a tie so that the knot is so small that it can only be undone with microscopic needles. A defence is to tie a two pence coin into the knot - although you may be called a jew or a gyppo if it is discovered that you keep two pees in secret hiding places.

I witnessed a severe case of peanutting in which the victim, rather alarmingly began to turn purple, choke and cough up blood.

The term for extreme peanutting is, of course, 'chokeanut'

The ultimate form of the peanut, however, is the potentially mythical Atomic Peanut, where the knot becomes so small that a tiny explosion makes the kipper snap off.

At least one child in the school will have learned, probably through a familial connection, that there is a secret knot used by policemen. When tied with this knot, a tie cannot be peanutted - it simply releases, leaving the confounded crim holding a tie, and the rozzer free to throw them down the stairs.

When translated to the playground, however, this cunning trick will inevitably backfire as the peanutting bully will simply run off with your tie, leaving you to get in trouble for not wearing the correct uniform.

If you are peanutted extra hard the back of your tie can rip, It might also happen if it happens to you constantly.

They were called 'Jew Knots' round our way.

We called this a Grot Knot, and when I Grot Knotted my best mates tie that had had the same knot for 2 and a half years, he kicked the living crap out of me. I still don't think I am fully forgiven even after 14 years...

if you had a really small knot it was called a jonny knot, and if it was really big it was a sot knot, you couldn't win, one school near by wore theirties with the thin end showing and when this got banned they wore theit ties extremely long so they seemed thinner, although at our school you wrere only cool if you wore your tie extremely short and had tramlines yet other schools'kids shouted "kipper tie" at you which started off some fight or other.

Peanutting arives in bursts (nb the best way to peanut is to drag victim on the floor by the tie) ours was brought to a swift conclusion when some 1st form kid boasted to the deputy head that he had that morning peanutted 15 boys. Round of applause is called for. This led to a lot of lecturing in assembly.

This was called "swot knotting" at our school, as only swots would have tiny knots in their ties. My brother's school was the other way round (big knot = swot) which I thought silly. Anyway, the most effective way of swot knotting is (as I have found) holding the end of the tie and jumping. The victim may realise mid-jump that soon, all of your 8-stone mass is going to be placed on the back of his neck in, ooh, a second. This makes it more fun.

my son gets peanutted every darn schoolday! What\'s the name of this quick-release knot? I had heard that if you do a Windsor Knot, it makes it more difficult to get peanutted.

As i know how it feels to get peanutted, i would recommend finding and tying a two pee coin in your tie
