Are we losing out Conkers?

I didn't want to cheat by googling, so I'll bite.  Is it something that grows on trees, Mick?

As children we would play conkers, Poke a hole through the conker with Mums meat skewer then thread string through the hole, tie a knot in one end, hang your cocker at arms length while your opponent swings his/her conker as hard as she/he can to hit your cocker and hopefully smash it to bits. If your conker smashes three of your opponents cockers to bits it becomes a “kinger”.

 If you rolled your cocker in to a yogie ( a fire children would sit round in the woods) it would make it really hard but that was cheating and anyone caught doing that would get a wedgie ( a hand full of soft skin somewhere on the body, then twist hard) so it was a cheat not often tried.

 Kinger, yogie and wedgie are words from my childhood, do you have any lost words from your youth ?

Interesting Mick; here in the US a "wedgie" is a painful and embarrassing procedure in which someone sneaks up behind you grabs the waistband of your pants and yanks them up hard thus attempting to deepen the wedge where the good Lord split you. OUCH!!!
