Quoted:
Smear the queer. Never thought it was spelled smeer, or certainly not schmeer or schmear which would involve bagels... I'd have to consult the brooklyn crowd.
.

I wrote it out as 'schmeer' because everone always seemed to pronounce it that way for some reason.

Smere the queer! I didnt know what a queer was - but I knew I didnt want to be one.

And thats why I am not gay. I had it beat out of me.

Hell yeah...smear the queer....I remember it well. That was back in the days when we actually went outside to play when we were kids. There was no computer to vegetate in front of.

It was/is called "Smear the Queer". Calling it anything else is, let's face it, gay.

Ah, the innocent brutality of childhood. I miss those days when you could smash someone's face in and not get arrested. *Sniff*

I broke my hip in 5th grade playing this. 'Course, it was in Philly and we played on asphalt

We called it Tackle the practioner of an alternative lifestyle. OK so we didnt, but this is Arfkom, sanitized for your protection and all that.

I cant believe several of the posters here, their moms wouldnt let them say smear the queer. Shit, thats what we did everyday growing up. Me and my pals beat the shit out of each other. And later in the day, we were best friends again, black eyes, fat lips, bloody noses, broken fingers, hurts feelings. Hell it didnt matter

Are you implying that homosexual men had it beat into them?

BTW, why hasn't StonerStudent weighed in on this?

touch fotball... so the moms would leave us alone

So is that like, TAG THE FAG?

We played KILL THE MAN WITH THE BALL, until it was banned by name. We took up PATTYCAKES instead, only we changed the rules a little bit. In our version of PATTYCAKES, one guy would run around with a football and everyone else would try to tackle him to try to get it.

I shit you not. A couple days later, a new ban took effect which banned games by certain combinations of features...

Kinda of like an old-school fight club. You got the crap beat out of you and you beat the crap out of your friends, and then do it again over and over -- and have fun doing it. In the end, you were still friends.

Smeer the queer and also * British Bulldogs, a game played in Britain, commonly by youth groups, involving a pitch or area demarked by two fixed lines on the ground, and often with no fixed width. The game begins by all participants, bar one or two, lining up along one of the two lines, and then, on a predetermined signal (such as someone yelling "Go!!"), all of those on the line make their way to the other line, timing their journey so as to avoid the one or two people who weren't in the group on the line to start with - their role is to remain in between the two lines and to tackle people as they make their way between the lines. Once a person is successfully tackled and their bodies are forced to touch the ground then they have been caught and they join the group of people whose job is to tackle the other group of people who continually make their way between the two lines. Other than the rules above, there are few others, and so, depending on the group of people involved, the game has been known to be prone to violence and physical injury. The winner of the game is the individual who is the last person "uncaught".

I was always the winner
