Rooney Gun Edit Meaning

1.

My Dad used to get us to behave by a threat of being hit by the rooney gun. It was something that he mad up as a silly, but stinky, weapon. A Rooney Gun is an athletic sock filled with dung, poop, scat - but it had a hole in the toe.

"If you kids don't stop running around like indians, I'm going to hit you with the rooney gun!"

Boom, like magic we stopped running like indians because we really thought that he had one hidden somewhere.
