(american) ding dong ditch — simple and evocative, but shallow and childish

(scottish) chappy — colorful, silly. what does it even mean?

(english) knicky knocky nine doors — bizarre, incomprehensible. feels vaguely racist

I have to assume it's a lot harder to suggest that you were in fear for your life if you have to actually chase down and capture a child. You cannot knife someone beyond a closed door.

lmao absolutely gunned down in a hail of bullets in any more civilized country

quote:

There would have been a gang of us – it would usually be Stavva, Bagga, Neil Overall, Gary ‘Cheesy’ Cheeseman, who had a very big head – the sniper’s dream, we used to call him – and the game was relatively simple.

“You had to creep into the back of someone’s house and observe the family watching the telly or whatever they were doing that evening. You would find a house where the curtains were open and go into the rear of the garden and then you would slowly walk towards the window trying not to disturb them and we would chant, increasing the volume as we went, ‘We do beg your pardon, we are in your garden’.

“You would creep closer and closer to the window and, as soon as you were seen, that’s when the shrubbery came in.

“You were not allowed to escape via the front of the property – you had to go across all the fences.

“As young teenagers, what you are really waiting for is for someone to make a noise or give you away so that you all have to run through all the gardens.”

nobody on the entire continent of Europe knew what hackey sack was back then. 90% probably still don't.

i still have no idea what hackey sack is, and it sounds like one of those phrases you’re warned not to google, like blue waffle, etc.

It's just a game where you have a small (think between ping pong and tennis ball) sack with loose filling (like a bean bag chair) and you try to keep it off the ground using only your legs.

this is an incomplete description. u also do cool tricks and catch the sack with various parts of your body. and if u get a 5-combo you grab the sak and whip it as hard as you can at the closest one of ur friends
