Ping Pong Phenomenon

This phenomenon is a highly sensitive, non-specific gauge of interest between two people who are communicating for the first time via email. It is defined as the gradual lengthening of email responses with each back and forth reply. When present, this phenomenon usually indicates some level of mutual interest between the communicating parties; while the respondents become more and more engaged, the responses subsequently lengthen. The absence of this phenomenon does not imply that there is no level of interest.

Disclaimer: This phenomenon does not predict actual compatibility, only initial interest.

Swedish Ping Pong

Similar to beer pong, swedish ping pong is played by throwing a ping pong ball at another player's racket that is resting on the table. If it hits, the opposing player gets a chance to hit your racket as well. Should they miss, they must turn around and raise their shirt while the other player whacks a ball at their back.

If one player should score two turns in a row, the loser must lift up the front of their shirt and get hit in the stomach/chest.

If a player scores five turns in a row, the loser drops their pants and prepares to get a welt on their ass. This is also considered game over as no man in their right mind would put any further on the line.

Verbal ping pong

The art of exchanging words, phrases, or insults back and forth between two people for an extended period of time. A playful, witty banter session giving each party a turn to in essence "drop the ball" when they run out of responses therefore losing the match.
My father is a verbal ping pong champion, he's never at a loss for a good come back.

pomgolian
