Kill the Man with the Ball, although when playing in other neighborhoods, Smear the Queer did come up.

We also played one where one guy would stand away from the rest of the group and throw high popups to the group with a tennis ball. Everyone would fight it out and try to catch it in the air.

Smear the queer

Smear the queer (also called smear) is a rougher tag variant more common among older children and teenagers. In this game, "it" is instead called "the queer" (the word is used in the Victorian sense of "strange person" rather than the modern definition of "homosexual", though contemporary players may interpret it in the latter sense). The queer does not try to tag the other players; instead, he tries to avoid being tagged, or, more often, tackled (knocked down to the ground).

Smear the queer is often played with an object such as a ball which is held by the "queer". Once the "queer" is tagged or tackled, he throws the object into the air. The other players then try to grab the object, thus becoming the new "queer". Unlike other forms of tag, those who stay "it" the longest are considered the best players.

It is also sometimes called "Kill the Carrier", "Kill the guy with the ball", "Kill the dill with the pill", "Keep off" or "Cream the Carrier".

The Japanese variant "Shippo-tori" is somewhat similar to smear the queer. In this variant, every player carries an object, usually a handkerchief, and is considered "it." A player is eliminated from the game when another player still in the game takes his object; the winner is the last player to retain his.

Sadly, the PC crap that has swept this country is going to kill smear the queer. I think we ought to start an orginization dedicated to saving it. Who's with me?
