tiddlywinks
Flip into cup
Tiddlywinks is a game where players press the edge of small discs (winks) with a larger disc (a squidger) to flip them into a cup.
Primarily a children's game, though competitive versions exist.
The word sometimes appears in dismissive comparisons: This isn't tiddlywinks—it's serious business.
