Do the wee ones still do "tic tac" to see who gets 1st pick?

"Eeny meeny miney mo" was a better way of picking.

Tic tac aw the way!

[dawn]

Tic tac was when the 2 team captains stood opposite eachother (distance apart to be decided) and alternated turns to walk towards eachother one step at a time (heel of front foot touching front of rear foot) until one persons foot was on top of the others. They were deemed winner and had 1st pick for their team.

A Ken, a was being a bam!, kids do still use this.

I don't hear this anymore though

Tic Tac toe all the way.

I've not heard "1 2 3 Helpy caught" in ages either, though Health and Safety have probably banned that primary school favourite.

When some cheeky bugger jumped from about 7 paces away just to get first pick

I wasnt sure if anyone would know what I was on about & lamposts were just a Leith colloquialism

It was definitely the terminology at Parsons Green Primary school circa early 1990's

Ditto to Danderhall Hibs - I just remember the rules being stipulated before Tic Tac Toe started, but couldn't remember what the forbidden act was called.

Wasnt a lampost when the person lay on the ground and reached out to touch the other persons foot? I cant remember the name for it but wasnt the running jump a totally different controversial tactic?

I thought a lampost was when one person lay along the ground head first to touch the other's foot with their forehead.

The use of the word "shan" to mean cruel.

Geordies still say that. It takes me back to when I was wee in Edinburgh

"Cheesy Boakin" while stroking your chin. (while making fun of someone elses misfortune). God knows what it meant.

That reminded me of one, strokingly pinching ones chin and saying "chin chin"
meaning - Talking s***e.
We should just do this instead of ever using the word "Hearts"!

"Chinny chin chin" I believe was the required phrase, around my bit anyway.

Right, so if a lampost was someone lying down to get an unfair advantage (which makes sense now I think about it) what the hell was the "jump from miles away" move called - I'm sure it had a name, and was similarly outlawed whilst partaking in the hallowed art of Tic-Tac-Toe.

It was 'itchy chin' for us.

In Tic-tac, for us, lamppost was just someone taking a massive step. We had a tiny one as well where you pretty much only put your toes down and the rest of your foot lay on the foot already down.

Aye, I'm sure that's what it was for us as well - don't know why I'm doubting myself!!! I remember the wee "ballet steps" tactic you mention as well - that must have a term as well, no??

Could be wrong but I think they were called, "baby steps".

Lamposts were a full stretched out body from tiptoes to fully stretched out arm to the tip of the fingers.

Earlier today while passing by some laddies kicking a scuffed football around I was reminded of the word "philly" meaning real leather football as opposed to a plastic replica. If you had a philly yer baw was always in demand!

In contrast if your ball was a plastic one it would be a 'flyaway'
