Squanderball
Taken from asakiyume
She said, "It's like if I say, 'You know, the other day when I was playing squanderball,' and they just nod and say 'uh-huh,' and I'm thinking, 'They know what squanderball is? I really don't think they know what squanderball is.' And so then you give them conversational amnesty; you say, 'You know squanderball?' and then they don't even take the amnesty! They just say, 'Yeah, sure; squanderball: go on.'"
So. . . do you know squanderball? If you were going to invent such a thing, what would it be?"
My answer was,
When I was little, squanderball was played with squash. Lots of them, big and yellow. They had to be ripe enough to splatter when they hit the ground so that we could drag out the hose afterwards and have a water fight while pretending to clean up.
