Highlights: “Freio’ and 30 other names that we had for the “safety zone’ when we were catching. “Klippo”, “Mi” and “Gotto” are just a few of the names we used to use for the zone in which you were not allowed to be “ticked” So many, in fact, that the BuzzFeed community was able to name a whopping 30 different ones when we asked them on Facebook.

“You can’t tick me here, it’s Lu!”

“Catch me!” - “Tick!” - “No, it’s Mi!”



If you have no idea what the heck “Mi” is supposed to mean, we obviously didn’t go to the same elementary school.

“Klippo”, “Mi”, “Freio” – the safety zone that was declared in every good game of catch and in which you were not allowed to be “ticked” has more names than the devil across the country.



So many, in fact, that the BuzzFeed community was able to name a whopping 30 different ones when we asked them on Facebook.
