I was just curious...
« on: October 17, 2014, 01:45:44 am »
         Hello Feral Heart community! I know that the lever and fulcrum used for play has multiple monikers and I became quite curious of what you guys call it.

...This is actually a very important question. xD

I've always called it a seesaw, though if someone called it a teeter-totter, I'd know what it was. Never heard totterboard, though. o-o

I've got the same answer as WhiteLightHeart. I say seesaw, but I'd recognize teeter totter. Totterboard, however... That sounds more like a balance board or something similar XD Not a seesaw.

It's...it's a seesaw. It's always been a seesaw xD. I have literally never heard anyone call it a 'teeter-totter' or 'totterboard'. Ever. 'Totterboard' just sounds like some sort of kitchen or household item to me.

What? You mean a Catapult? WHY IS EVERYONE GIVING CATAPULTS CUTESY NICKNAMES?!
Gah, just kidding... sortof.
I usually call it a seesaw, but it's also used as my catapult. ;)

I have heard all of 'em.
I call it a seesaw, my mom and dad call it a teetertotter and seesaw, ummm... My grandparents call it a totterboard.
I loved those darn things! I was an only child, so I had nobody to play with so I either pretended someone was on the other end, or I would put a rock on the other end(which wasn't a very big rock, but I only weighed like 11 pounds xnx)
Oh, the memories...
stinky dog coming through, don't mind me!

I call it a seesaw, well, if I actually ever call it anything xD I hear teeter-totter a lot, but I've never heard someone call it a totter-board.
