Dodgeball
Throw, duck, eliminate
Dodgeball is a game in which players throw soft rubber balls at opponents while trying to avoid being hit themselves.
Getting struck eliminates you; catching a thrown ball may eliminate the thrower or revive a teammate.
The game is associated with school gymnasiums and childhood: I got destroyed in dodgeball today.
To dodgeball someone is to avoid them, from the evasive maneuvering the game requires.
