Anyone remember kids' rhymes to decide whose "it"??

Okay, try spelling some of these words! I know I can't spell them, so forgive me in advance:

Eenie, meenie, Chick-a-cheenie,
Ah, bah, ****-a-leenie,
Ach-chee, katch-chee, liberachee
out goes y-o-u!

Ooops! It editied out the four letter word for bosom! I guess your kids can't do this one! Sorry!

I was thinking of this same one, we used it when jumping rope.

In some parts of the country (and in a different era too) , people did not use "tigers" in that rhyme, but the "N" word instead! Pretty bad!

I remember as a kid chanting to the person that got tagged "It" during Tag:

"______'s it!

Counterfeit!

He's a German Idiot!"

Why "German" was used I have no clue. Perhaps the rhyme came out of WW II or something! Not very PC!

back when I was a kid and didn't know better, we didn't say "tiger" either.

as for German Idiot, that came from my DW's grandmother who was trying to describe her lineage and while trying to say German-Indian she made the now-famous gaffe
