Ever play this card game called "Old Maid". Its like "Snap" "Donkey" "Aladin", the kind you can buy at provision shops or bookstores.

It's played by distributing all the cards to all the players. Any pairs in a players hand are to be placed face down. Players then let the person to his left pick a card. Any pairs constructed through the exchanging of cards will be placed face down. A player with no more cards in his hand leaves the game.

There is one card, the "Old Maid" card that does not have a pair. So eventually one player will end up having that card and all other players have left the game. The instructions then say "You may now call her/him Old Maid." It may be a simple game for children but that's just mean and possibly vicious. It is seriously warped to teach little children to call single-senior-ladies names, and that it is shameful to be one, as the game teaches when the loser's forfeit is to be called "Old Maid" by the others.

I played this game when i was small and am guilty as charged. I sincerely apologise.
