Marble?

[edit]

It's a very long time ago but I've got half an idea that this was a kind of marble (the ones you would play with as children). Perhaps the same as a pirate (see my comments at Talk:pirate), perhaps not, or did I imagine the whole thing? I've got a feeling that I didn't even know this word before I learned it as a kind of marble. Equinox 05:41, 5 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • A while ago I did do a bunch of marble words. They seem to be very regionalised and perhaps localised in time (like a lot of children's games) as nobody writes this stuff down unless there is an adult hanging around creepily "studying". But okay, perhaps I did dream this one. I do hope we can extend pirate to explain what kind of marble it is though. Pretty sure they were the streaky black ones.
