Impractical piece of jewelry, most often forcibly inserted into the lower
earlobe where it then hangs. Most often used by girls with a single "earing" in each ear, sometimes also used excessively - by girls or guys - with mixed results.
Statistics have shown that people identifying themselves as "gothic" or "emo" have are 150% more likely to have multiple earings.
In the book "Diary"
Peter's friend ripped his earing out, severing his
earlobe into two pieces, resembling
a snake's tongue.
