The act of mooning can actually be traced back to the 1st century AD when Roman troops would flash their buns on the battlefield. The tradition has continued from the battlefield to live stage shows to ways to insult the Queen. Even though there is some debate on where the term "moon" comes from (some say it was from students in the 1960s to a random book in the 1700s to James Joyce), one thing that is for sure is that mooning is still pretty great.
