This sounds similar
to the "thalidomide fights" my mother used to set me and my brother up to do...

Elbows to the side (but hands out), given a cushion and told to get on out knees and whack our hearts out of each other.

I still can't work out why my mother completely forbade (and in fact because she never did it either we didn't even know any racist swearwords until big-school) anything racist but thought it was fine to make fun of birth defects.

Flippers are a smashing touch though... sounds like something we'd do at Guides/Scouts.

Flid Fights for me
Get on your knees, hands up to shoulders and attempt to push each other over with your elbows... (Can't remember it ever being a parentaly sanctioned activity tho...)

Of course the slang term flid
Actually came from "thalidomide".

So clearly this is the same game!

My mum is odd.
See previous qotw answers...

I still don't think she'd "get" b3ta though, despite her instructions to "show me this shock site I was told about" when I got my first dialup connection at 13 years old (via t'absent parent) - there are particular kinks teenagers really shouldn't know about before they experience normal sexual things!
