I assume Lawn Darts with actual points were mentioned on page one. We would even sharpen ours as the points would dull. We used to toss them straight up and see who could stand still the longest.

We also played Murderball in gym. The teachers even called it that.

I worked at Safeway in the late 80s and one of the older cashiers got on the intercom one day and asked for a price check on Brazil nuts. The problem was she didn't say Brazil nuts, she used the other, non PC version "____ Toes". The entire store stopped for a few seconds and you could almost hear everyone thinking "she said what?!?!" Lucky for her there was a union.
