'jinx' game
We always said "JINX, you owe me a coke." There was no rule about silence or a release word.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Sophia! Happy birthday, smonster!
But here's the answer: my kids play the old 'jinx' game, you know the one where you both say the same thing at the same time and yell "JINX!" and whoever says it last or forgets to say it is jinxed and can't speak until someone else says "pickle juice!" At least pickle juice is the current safe word. When I was a kid it was Coca Cola.
Ah. When I was a kid, other people had to say the jinxed person's name five (?) times.
