Poll What do you yell when you see a VW Beetle and punch someone's arm? (186 votes)
I dunno if it's regional, but I always used "slug bug!" growing up, only learning about "punch buggy!" very recently.
I want to know if my childhood was abnormal.

Never heard of "slug bug", but "punch buggy", yeah, all the time growing up. *WHACK* <color> punch buggy, no return! Wow that pissed some people off.
Beetles? I used to play ''yellow car''. Then you just said ''Yellow car!''
I don't play this game, but the phrase "Eat a dick!" popped into my head. Now I can't stop chuckling, thinking about shouting that and punching someone's arm when I see a Beetle.
This made me laugh. The only reaction I can imagine is just a sobbing, confused "Why?"
It was always "slug bug" when I was growing up. Never heard of "punch buggy" but that's not nearly as good. It doesn't even rhyme.

This as well.
Although I do distinctly remember hearing punch buggy on TV once, the Simpsons I think.
Slug Bug makes zero sense.
Punch Buggy
EDIT: But I don't actually play Punch Buggy, and if other people try to play Punch Buggy, I retaliate by playing There's a Car.
I don't play that damn game. My friends have learned not to play that damn game, cause the times they've yelled "punch buggy no punch back!" and hit me, they get punch back.
Cause I don't play that damn game.

Maybe it's an American thing. Slug and socking are two different slang terms for punching somebody (in the US ((or maybe California?))). Though I think they're usually for when you punch someone in the arm and not in a serious way. So basically punch bug.

This.
"Boble!" .. also, Yellow Car is a thing here as well. and if the Beetle is pink you get to punch a person again!
Apparantly it's a stupid game to play when the driver of the car you're in initiates the game and then you suddenly see on, punch him on the arm and his arm twitches for a few.
Wuss

No, when you really slug something, you hit hard. (Though not in this game.) It's not just a California thing, either.
And also, "Slug bug" rhymes.
We say "Punch Buggy (insert colour of the beetle)" in Australia. I've never heard of slug bug..
Punch buggy is way better.

"Punch buggy, no punch-backs."
In my time, a boy had to cover his bases. Slug Bug is just weird, I don't know where people come from where that seems normal.
This is what I grew up with. Never heard the term "slug bug" until now. The "no punch-backs" part was also super important.
"Beetle Adventure Racing!, bitch!"

Yeah I can confirm it's not only a California thing. I lived in North Dakota as a kid and that's all anyone said. "Slug bug! No slug back!" I'd never even heard "Punch buggy" before today. It doesn't even rhyme!
