It's "boccionare" over here. You plait hay or long-stemmed straw (not the one from the combines!), then double the plait, then tie the ends together, make small cuts all along to make it fuzzy, then scrub. Quite a workout! They used to do it in the cavalry, but most people nowadays don't even know what it is anymore... (I'm told that they still do it in Russia).
