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.

Our teachers not only called it murderball, but they participated. We had one teacher in Junior High, and he had the science of murder ball down. You'd see him rear back and then fire that ball, and it would literally vanish, then you'd hear the sound barrier break. And then the ball would materialize 3 inches in front of your face like it dropped out of hyperspace before smashing your nose clean through the back of your skill, while your body went thought a 360 degree spin in the air in slow motion while you cried out "Nooooooooo" in slow sound and your ear picked up every single girl that you had a crush on giggling, while all of your clothing materialized in orbit around mars.
then you woke up in the nurses office and learned that having your nose super accelerated through your skull isn't enough of an excuse to miss your math exam that you now had to write with more bandages on your face then the mommy
The lesson of this story kiddies
F%%% Gym class on rainy days.
