What?'s use of the classic "queer" got me thinking - SanDog - 07-24-2006

What do the kids call the age old classic game "Smear the Queer" nowadays? It can't be PC to still call it that, or the alternative "Tag the Fag".

Anyone know?

There was no such thing as "PC" before. So, yes.

I think it's still ok. kids are coming out earlier these days, so there's actual known queers to smear. before you had to guess. might take some of the fun out of the game, but kids these days have video games and shit and probably don't give a fuck anyway

Remember huddling around the ball, everyone afraid to pick it up because you knew the other dudes were going to crush you as soon as you touched it? Good times, good times.

Kill the man with the ball is what we called it.

Really? I thought it was universally "Smear the Queer". Who knew the Penns were so progressive.

I'm a little younger so maybe thats it.Smear the queer was probably some quaker prison punishment.

I had no idea what you guys were talking about until Bird said kill the man with the ball. That's what we called it too.

Apparently it depends on your age and where you grew up, but:

Smear the queer (CA)
Tag the Fag (CA)
Kill the guy with the ball (GA)
Suicide (MA)
Dead Man Walking (FL)

It is a simple game. A bunch of people play, the one with the ball gets tackled. Then he throws the ball up, and someone catches it, runs and gets tackled. Lather, rinse, repeat.
