Fictional game played by Londoners of a certain background, intended to intimidate an outsider to their social clique. The aim to to pretend you are playing to a set of complex rules which are never explained.
Players take turns to name an underground station, the "winner" is the first to "reach" Morninton Crescent, at which point they enthusiastically shout the name of this station. If the outsider attempts to join in, they shout him down, giving a look of abject scorn.
It can be played on internet message boards, derailing a serious thread by posting a comment with the name of an underground station in bold. Then consecutive users will start posting otherwise irrelevant comments with more station names bolded, until someone simply posts in bold capitals "MORNINGTON CRESCENT"!!!!!
