mumblypeg

A game kids (mostly boys) used to play on the playground where they stand with their feet shoulder width apart whilst throwing a pocket knife point down between their own feet. The boy who gets closest wins. Getting the knife in your foot is an automatic win.

You remember Jim Bob Cletus Scroggins? He got all them scars on his foot by playin' mumblypeg!

mumbleypeg 

A game requiring sharp senses and a very steady hand. Played by placing one hand flat on a surface such as a table with the fingers splayed widely, and then using the free hand to jab a knife in the empty spaces between the fingers on the table as quickly as possible.
Different patterns are acceptable, though most commonly done from one side of the hand to the other and back again.
Often played under circumstances of extreme drunkeness, boredom, or both.

"My mama she told me when I was a boy playin' Mumbleypeg,
'Don't drink no black cow's milk and don't you eat no black hen's eggs.'"
