It probably also was below waist level back in the days. I don’t remember it exactly anymore. But it probably changed over time because everyone kept protesting with “eye level!” when it was too high.
Back in middle school the punishment was a slap to the back of the neck, and I never heard anything about putting your finger in the 👌 to avoid it. Simpler times.
I wonder if this “game” is the same everywhere
What are your local rules for it?
This is how I know it:
Punishment:
Basically everyone at the same age as me just knows this and (involuntarily) has to play along if challenged…
Below waist level you philistine
Yes I am, and so is Bilbo.
A hobbits waist arrives exactly where it means to
We always played where it had to be below waist level
When I grew up, it was “below waist level” and resulted in a free punch to the shoulder, but there weren’t any of the other rules.
(Edit: wait, I forgot that if you flinch, the puncher gets to go again)

Punishment for flinching is great xD
Yep, below the waistline and “2 for flinching” were standard around my parts.

Also which country are you from? Here in german, that are the rules. Except we stopped going through with that years ago, probably at the age of 16.
Switzerland. It also stopped back then, but somehow started again recently. Not sure if it’s only in my stupid group of friends though xD
Below the waist, a shot to the arm. That’s kinda it around here. Seems pretty universal
Shot to the arm?
At the ‘dead arm’ position usually (halfway between shoulder and elbow)
Yes, exactly there was the goal. Didn’t know that term
