Playground insults.

Remember that small children tend to be screaming bigots and generally the worst kind of people. Here you can see them at their worst.

kick the martin

Martin would be asked a question. If he answered it correctly he was kicked once. If he answered incorrectly he was kicked twice. If he didn't answer at all he was kicked until he did. Best question therefore were along the lines of "Do you shag dogs" or "Do you rim old men?" where the only way to minimise the abuse was to give the "correct" answer of Yes. (Paul Heath)

I read that site a bit ago... I agree there are some truly horrible tales.
Although there is plenty of funny stuff as well, like 'Boxlex' :)

Not all childrend are like that. Just most.

Yes, but the mildly encouraging take on this is that in a very few cases, it is just remotely possible to socialise them out of this kind of behaviour. I mean, look what lovely adults we all are! This is why parenting rally why the most important job in the world - and the most badly paid!

This thread also leads me to consider the role of the adult play some of us participate in as part of the ongoing socialisation process. I mean, how would we adapt the game in the example you quote to make it fun to play at parties?

Gandhi

I've spent most of the afternoon trying to read this site without giggling too loudly.

I like this one:

doing a gandhi
Originated from Nick Stephen's first LSD experience. Camping out in the woods, Nick is seized by the uncontrollable urge to become Muhatma Gandhi and relive his epic "salt march to the sea". We had learned about this the day previously in History class. Wearing nothing more than a towel, Nick disappears off. He returns some hours later to announce that he had taken control of a JCB, run over a workman's shed, crashed the vehicle into a ditch and caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to Cornwall's budding windfarm scheme. This display of thuggery was totally out of character with Nick's adopted persona, we argued. He didn't appear to care. (Will Darby)

I've recently realized that I still experience strong negative emotions when approached by straight-acting men who are larger than me, and I suspect my experience at school has a lot to do with it.

On the other hand, it might still be a good survival instinct.
