When did it start?
What word did you say?
What happened afterwards?
In Sweden we say “Smurf”, or at least we did in the 90s – 00s. The original was apparently “Smurf, Smurf, Gammelsmurf – du är skyldig mig en läsk!” (Smurf, Smurf, Papa Smurf – you owe me a soda!), but it got shortened to just “Smurf” when I was a kid and I’m not sure I remember the soda part.

Yes! I actually know it in a way that whoever says the others name quickest afterwards wins – and the loser doesn’t get to speak at all until the winner releases him/her by saying their name. Which is a fun game to play 🙂
Oh, and the absolutely genius phrase is “Chipsy Cola, eins, zwei, drei” – though I’m sure there are others.
Remember that top level answers needs to be more than 200 characters (or something similar) or they will get shadow-deleted by automod (that is, nobody else can see them). So make sure it has more than 200.

That’s a variant that exists, but from what I gather it’s an extension from the basic *”smurf!”*, not the other way around. There are many different variants that have evolved.
