    The G-rated version is: “Pass the peanut butter.”
    I usually use hippopotamus for fives, but I’m switching to spanikopita!

    Why don’t you just say, “El-nor Nie-mis-to”?

    3 against 4, clean: “Pass the GOLDEN butter” or “play the gosh darn fiddle”. I guess it could be “play the old-time fiddle” too. I wish I could come up with some phrase wherein not only would the whole 3 against 4 make sense, but the separate 3 and the 4 would make more sense than ‘play gosh fid’ and ‘play the darn dle’.
