As kids and young teens in the 60's (in the New York/New Jersey area at least) there was a customary game we played called "Paddidle" where, if you saw a car coming with one headlight you had to yell "Paddidle!" or "No Paddidle", or the friend next to you could start punching your shoulder sequentially to "one Paddidle, two Paddidle,..." or just punch your shoulder a good one and say, "Your forgot to call Paddidle!" Evidently, though, this goes further back to the 50's and 40's and was played between boys and girls as a dating game, and if the girl didn't say "Paddidle" first the guy with her got a kiss. And sometimes, it seems, the (ahem) rewards were just a little better for truck and bus Paddidles as specified in the full breakdown of the game and it's history as per the word "Paddidle" on this amusing Wordwizard link:
