Dang sleds (don't you say that in Chi town or is that Ohio?) You can wiki it.

AKA Lany Poniedziałek, Polewanka or Oblewanka.
Early in the Polish evolution of the tradition, the Dyngus custom was clearly differentiated from Śmigus: Dyngus was the exchange of gifts (usually eggs, often decorated like pisankas), under the threat of water splashing if one party did not have any eggs ready, while Śmigus (from Śmigać, to whoosh, ie make a whipping noise) referred to the striking.
Later the focus shifted to the courting aspect of the ritual, and young unmarried girls were the only acceptable targets. A boy would sneak into the bedroom of the particular girl he fancied and awaken her by completely drenching her with multiple buckets of water. Politics played an important role in proceedings, and often the boy would get access to the house only by arrangement with the girl's mother.

That's why so many Polish guys are looking for Polish girls, they just don't get it! They keep drenching them with water so no wonder the polkas look into other nationalities who don't know about smingus-dingus
