A game in which players toss a jackknife in various prescribed ways, with the object being to make the blade stick firmly into the ground.
[From the phrase mumble the peg, from the fact that originally the loser had to pull up with the teeth a peg driven into the ground.]

A little Chesterton for election day...
The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected
That's good stuff. I love Chesterton.
