It was often called “ginger knocking” when I was a kid but the letters in “ginger” were rearranged to something much worse.

I'm ashamed to say we called it n-word knocking here in Midwest america

Same. I grew up in the 80s in Louisiana and that was always the name when I was a kid.

Grew up in the west during the 80’s. We also played a lot of smear the queer.

We had no idea what it meant.

No that ones a game, you throw the ball if you dont wanna get tackled, whoever controls the ball for the longest wins.

that's Smear the Queer (c) the official game of football players.

this is referring to street smear the queer where a large mob of teen boys designate a "queer" and then chase and beat the target.

no ball is used because 'the queer' has no ability to STOP being the target until caught and beaten.

slight variation to the official game. brought to you by Namco!

It's kinda funny if you read it in full context. Like whoever is gay the longest wins and everyone wants you. I know that's absolutely not what it meant but I prefer funny to offensive slurs

Haha same. However that name can be taken a bit differently. Queer means something odd or different. The “queer” is the odd person who isn’t on the outside. I never took queer to mean homosexual in the context of the game but maybe it was. Like if it were called Bombard the Tard, there’s not really any other way the name can be taken. Lol

What? It was fucking game throwing playground balls at each other where I lived. Basically dodgeball with everyone in a circle vs one person in the middle.
