not it 

The Definition:
· "Not it" exempts a person from performing a deed provided he or she is not the last person to call "not it"
· The last person to call not it must perform the deed at hand, provided he or she lies in the realm of responsibility

The Realm of Responsibility
· Any person who is present and falls into the realm of responsibility must call not it or perform the deed
· The realm of responsibility applies to anyone who might reasonably be expected to perform the deed in question (parents do not usually fall under the realm of responsibility, e.g.)

The Extent of the Game:
· Once one person has called "not it" for a specific deed, the game comes into effect
· Once the game is in effect, all must play or perform the deed
· Once and only once, each person may claim not to understand the concept of "not it." That person will then read the rules or have them explained to him or her, and upon the next invocation of "not it" he or she must participate or perform the deed.

The Call:
· A person must say aloud the phrase "not it" and touch his or her nose before all others present have also done so after it has been announced that the deed in question must be done.

The Situation:
· "Not it" may be called in group-settings with more than two people (for two people settings, a best of three game of rock, paper, scissors is employed)
· The call for a task does not exempt one from having to call "not it" (see exceptions)

The Announcement:
· In sibling situations, the announcement is made by a parent/guardian (see exceptions)
· Anyone may announce the deed, however, unless he or she is an exception, he or she must also call "not it"

Exceptions
· Parents, when calling, are usually exempt from the realm of responsibility

Person3: "Who's going to open the door"

Person2: "not it"
Person3: Opens door

not it 

sort of the opposite to bagsy. if there are two or more people present and something needs to be done fairly immediately for whatever reason, to say "not it" quickly can save a lot of hassle. the person to say "not it" last is the person bound to do the task, whatever it is.

phone rings
first person "not it"
second person "not.. goddamn"
second person answers the phone.

Not It 

This phrase is for those of us who are selfish and narcissistic and would rather watch the people around us do meaningless, mindless chores that plagues our everyday existence.

RULES:
1) Occurs when two or more people are sitting and the task comes up to clean the room, put in a different cd, or get the door (etc.)
2) This CANNOT be spoken until an official count has occurred to 3. When the presence of a task has come up a member of the party will say: "1,2,3..."
3) The person administering the count will be the first to say "Not it" which automatically grants him/her immunity from the task at hand
4) After the administrator says it everyone else now must say "Not It" the fastest
5)The administrator decides with group consensus who the slowest person was who must humiliate himself and perform the task at hand
6) For parties of 4 or more the administrator may be overthrown if there is disagreement over the slowest person
7) Physical Intimidation and force is acceptable for groups of 3 or more to muffle another member of the group in order to prevent them from casting a "Not it"
8) Any female present automatically is given the task the no one wants to do because clearly men are superior to females (Man Law)
9) In the instance of more than one female being present a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" will be administered in a best of 3 tournament
10) For anyone who loses and refuses to perform the task is then immediately shunned from further group activities that night or can opt to stay with the agreement of being the center of jokes for the rest of the night

JP- "Dude, someone close that window it's freezing."

John, Stu, Evan-no one says anything just look with unregistered stares.

JP-Come on guys!

John- "ok, 1,2,3...NOT IT!
Stu-Not it!
Evan-Not it!

JP- "sh*t"

123 not it 

What you say when you are in a group of 2 or more people and someone else asks for a volunteer to do something lame. The last person to say it is stuck with the task/ duty/ whatever.

Bob and his brother Joe are hanging out. Mom walks into the room...

Mom: "Boys, I need someone to pick up the dogshit."
Bob: "123 not it!"
Joe: "Aw fuck."

That's Not It 

"That's not it" commonly used as "Das not it" refers to someone or something being so irrelevant and unpopular that it or they become not it.

Being not it means that you and your comments are so irrelevant that no matter what you say after you cannot come back to "it" status for a good 30 minutes at least. Unless you so not it that it's impossible, this happens a lot as well.

The complete opposite of "Dassit!" Which means of great acceptance and pleasure. You either "it" or "not it".

Guy one: "Had 2 Big Macs with Gustavo for lunch while listening to the new 2 Chainz song, DASSIT!"

Guy two: "NO boo boo, that's not it...bye..."

Guy one: "whatever hater"

Guy two: "bye Felicia, you not it #ratchet #thursty".
