Knicker Chase
Do you want to play Chase?

Too much teasing potential IMO. Fine if you're actually American because it's fairly normal there.

Or a merchant bank.

I agree, if you ARE ~American then you can get away with it, but ........otherwise, no you can't.

Yes, the first thing I thought was it sounded like someone from The Bold and The Beautiful. Sorry!

If you are Australian or American it's ok. They do tend to use "unusual" names. I think it's awful.

It started off being a nickname for Charles here (from Chas/Chaz) and now I know quite a few who are just called that.

We don't call it playing chase here; it's tag. :)

If you are going to do it, put Charles on the birth certificate. I like it as a nn.

Knicker chase (played at mixed SE London state primary circa 1985 - but not at all girls private school in Kent circa 1988) was where the boys chased the girls and when they caught a girl she had to show the boy her knickers.

Sounds awful as I write it but it was just another one of those playground games at the time Blush
