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)

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?
