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.

We called it Kill the Carrier. No one ever referred to it as Smear the Queer.

Me and my friends called it "The Champ", and whoever has the ball is the champ and gets [censored] up.

Isn't that also called a Cleveland Steamer?

Cleveland Steamer is when you have a one night stand, take a dump on her chest the next morning and leave without her waking up. Another childhood game.

Slightly offtopic, has anyone ever heard of the game Duck Duck Goose being called anything eles. In college two kids from Minnesota said it was called Duck Duck Grey Duck. WTF?

What you have to take into account is that people from Minnesota are [censored] idiots. I learned it the hard way - grew up in San Diego and now live in MN.

Its Clearly Smear the Queer the only other thing Ive ever heard it referred to is, is Fumbly Wumbly and that was because we were in grammar school and there was PC crap that stopped us fro saying Queer
