series "everyday issues" - Episode 4: What is the short straw?

Each of us has ever given the following statement on its own or heard, "Well there you have but pulled the short straw!"

Today's entry deals with the question:


What is the short straw?


The concept of ass card is from a time when color television was not yet fully enforced and refers to the football.
This could see the spectators, the referee pulled out now, a yellow or red card, he wore them at various Points. The yellow in the breast pocket and the red in the back pocket (ass pocket).

And since the red card expulsion will be punished by the game, one can conclude that this player has clearly drawn the short straw!

The term round-the-ass card could also originate from a game like "asshole" game, or Black Peter ...

second will be familiar yet, so I would like to briefly explain the card game "asshole":

is played with a Skatblatt (32 cards), they are in a circle designed, they form the "asshole".

begins the first: it takes an (ass) card and places it in the middle.

The next examine whether one of his cards (fits in the first round has not got any cards), he puts these on the stack in the middle, otherwise it takes one from the "asshole" and see whether it fits.
Does it really, he lays them off.

If they do not fit, he takes the deck and places it in the "asshole".
is "mined" the asshole and really only winner is the first of cards greater.

Can not create a card, it says "continue" and the next one's turn.
Can no one wins, the fewer points it has in hand.

The loser is then the asshole and thus has the asshole card is drawn.



addition brings the short straw with something bad / negative in touch! If one has drawn the short straw, so the consequences are usually negative!



In diesem Sinne: Lassen Sie sich nicht die Arschkarte zu stecken und ziehen Sie auch keine!
