- There was a great game played at every fireside which was called the Giving Round of the Button. The eldest boy got a leather belt and he stood up in front of the ring and he gave round the button. Then he would say "Rotten topper. Slipper hill, wig, wag. What do you call the man that gave round the button. Button, button show let all the fools know." Then whoever did not hit on the right one got a slap of the leather belt.
