If you wanted to throw a ball and leave a red mark, you played dodge ball.

I never heard that expression in kickball,

but I did hear my wife say "no more redhots" one time after I had tried some of that KY warning jelly.


A little too warm I guess

That's just normal rules.

We played it in PE as a kid in Lafayette. I had no idea until just now that it’s fairly local, originally to Nola. Basically kinda like slow pitch softball but with a bigger, softer ball and you didn’t use gloves.

We did have that rule, but I don’t recalling calling it that. Then again, I can’t recall how we said it, so maybe I’m just hazy after several decades

Since kids don’t even seem to play outside anymore I wonder if they even know what “no red hots” means?

Edit: I’m very surprised yall don’t know. “Red Hots” was when you could throw the ball at the baserunner in a game like kickball or cabbage ball and if you hit them between bases they were out. Or in wall ball throwing the ball super hard at someone.
What a bizarre effort to whitewash your homosexual hijinks. Just own them.

Before literally everything had a some degenerate connotation that was just exclusively referred to a “pegging” when I grew up.
