Knifey-spoony Edit Meaning

1.

A game in which two or more players compare knives; the player with the largest knife is the winner. However, any player may choose to use a spoon instead of a knife.

"That's not a knife. THIS is a knife!"

"That's not a knife, that's a spoon."

"Ah, I see you've played Knifey-Spoony before!"
