I had a great game as a kid where me and girls were playing for kisses on "words", i.e. "start the next word with the letter of the word I just said". So I invented a whole new vocabulary and then taught them that vocabulary. Apart from the fact that I got a lot of kisses from them they were so happy they learned something new they immediately went to share this with their (and my) parents. Obviously I got a slap but I just don't get how you can think "a kid can do this". You're either completely ignorant of different cultures (i.e. as an Eqstern European I still find it hard to remember Indian names, let alone tell if they are actually fucking with me) or intentionally simplifying the problem.
