(n) Aus.
A form of downball (also known as handball) played between two players or teams in predetermined areas known as squares. There are two squares: King, who initiates the gameplay by gently throwing the ball or serving, and Queen, who receives the ball and is the square where the next person in line goes to.

Origin: Named so after its use of two squares, which would have originally been two adjacent rectangles of concrete as marked on a footpath or walkway.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
