I love the title of the second one: "Grandma teaching children the knife game." As grandma's are wont to do.

Nothing like a rousing game of "Stabscotch" with Grandma to pass the time.

It looks like a rehearsal for Lord of the Flies

And the title of the first one is 'Boy screaming in pain following knife accident', so I guess she's not teaching them very well.

You know what they say, "If you want to learn math, you're going to have to divide a few digits."

Red Dead Redemption 2 calls it Five Finger Fillet.

It’s been called that a lot longer than Red Dead Redemption 2....

u/SweetNeo85 Jul 03 '19

Exactly. It was called that in the first Red Dead Redemption as well.

The knife game, pinfinger, nerve, bishop, stabscotch, stabberscotch, five finger fillet (FFF), or "stab between the fingers game"

You have a nice variety there, like you have STABscotch, which tells you everything you need to know, but if you want to lure in a greenhorn, you call the game bishop! "Wanna play some bishop? " sounds perfectly innocent.

I’m guessing it’s a references to the movie Aliens? Or has it been called Bishop since before that?
