Are children no longer needlessly violent? Back in my day, you frogged someone by making a fist with the second knuckle of the middle finger stuck out a bit and then you punched them in the meatier part of the upper arm or leg with that knuckle.

We called it a wooden leg when you punched a person on the side of the thigh, because the leg usually get momentarily incapacitated.
