Did you/do you play 'Tag'?

Where does the saying 'Can't tag your butcher' come from? I know it means no backsies/No tag backs...but why the butcher? Any ideas?

Why is the person who is it called the butcher?

Great question, butcher's hook can't look maybe?

Happy New Year

You're it!

No idea about the butcher at all, used to say it all the time, never really thought about it until now!

haha you have got me, have you ever listened to the Colour Purple podcast with Susie Dent and Gyles Brandrith or however you spell his name. Would be a great question for them, as they discuss words and phrases in the English dictionary etc

Heard of it, never listened to it. Love Susie on Cats does countdown (better than normal countdown!)
