Indian burn

An Indian burn, also known as a snake bite or Chinese burn in the UK and Australia, is a pain-inducing prank, where the prankster grabs onto the victim's forearm or wrist, and starts turning the skin away from themselves with one hand, and with another hand towards themselves, causing an unpleasant burning sensation to the skin.

In Sweden, it is called tusen nålar ("a thousand needles").

In Afrikaans it is called a "donkie byt" which translates to "donkey bite."

A variation of the prank can be done with a yarn that can be rubbed against the skin in a similar manner when starting fire in a small and dried haystack.
