Do we have any Brits still reading here? Anybody else ever heard of this? It is mentioned in a local kind-of alternative newsmagazine, which gives an explanation; but I'd rather wait on posting that until or unless others have commented.
Looking at the words, dwile could be dweil (a floor cleaning cloth usually dirty) and flonking may be flunking. But where on earth are they throwing wet floor cleaning cloths at eachother? What is the world coming to drilling holes in books to "create" the ugliest disfunctinal lamps ever seen and throwing natte dweilen at one another.
dweil (a floor cleaning cloth usually dirty) Branny! That's it! At least the first word. Here's what the article says, in part:
"Not Your Average Drinking Game"
The game, which some believe has been played since medieval times, calls on players to fling a beer-soaked rag from the end of a small stick toward the face of an opponent, and in the event the tosser misses the target two straight times, he must quickly down a half-pint of ale.
Hard to believe but the game is actually stupider than the name.
Yeah, I'll agree, stupid.
But different strokes for different folks.
I would guess that by the time you are ready to play this game, you've already had a pint or five...
Or would they fix their rendez-vous beforehand and ask "who brings the dwile?"
blech! Thus my thread icon: "eek".
