Bop It
Twist-pull-smack game
Bop It is a handheld electronic game that calls out commands—bop it, twist it, pull it—requiring players to perform the corresponding action on the device before time runs out.
The pace accelerates until someone fails.
The name has become shorthand for any rapid-fire sequence of instructions: My boss was barking orders like a Bop It.
