Dwile Flonking

The pastime of Dwile Flonking involves two teams, each taking a turn to dance around the other while attempting to avoid a beer-soaked dwile (cloth) thrown by the non-dancing team. ‘Flonk’ is probably a corruption of flong, an old past tense of fling; and “dwile” is a knitted floor cloth, from the Dutch dweil, meaning mop. Appropriate and seasonal dress is important. (via Tod Weitzel)
