Olly olly oxen free
Olly olly oxen free (and variants: ollie ollie umphrey, olly-olly-ee, outtie outtie lets be free, all-y all-y all set free,〔Opie, Iona and Peter. Lore and Language of Schoolchildren. Oxford: Clarendon, 1959 p.143; Bronner, Simon. American Children's Folklore. Little Rock: August House, 1988 p.p. 178〕 Ollie Ollie in come free, ally alley ocean free, etc.) is a catchphrase used in such children's games as hide and seek, capture the flag or kick the can to indicate that players who are hiding can come out into the open without losing the game, that the position of the sides in a game has changed〔 (as in which side is in the field or which side is at bat or "up" in baseball or kickball), or, alternatively, that the game is entirely over. Cassidy and Hall write that the phrase may be derived from "All ye, all ye 'outs' in free," "All the outs in free" or possibly "Calling all the 'outs' in free;" in other words: all who are "out" may come in without penalty.〔Cassidy, Frederick Gome; and Joan Hall, "Ole Ole Olson All In Free", ''another way of saying it is oll-e oll-e ox-and-free Dictionary of American Regional English'', (1985) Vol III (I-O), p. 874.〕 Various calls used for such purposes have gone by the collective name of "ollyoxalls" in some places.〔In Portsmouth, England for example. Opie, Iona and Peter. Lore and Language of Schoolchildren. Oxford: Clarendon, 1959 p.143〕 Tukey and Rowell speculate that the phrase may be a corruption of the German ''Alle, Alle, auch sind frei'' (English: Everyone everyone, is also free) . That phrase, however, would be grammatically incorrect German (a correct phrasing would be "Alle, alle sind auch frei"), casting doubt on this etymology.
==In popular culture==
A variant of the phrase "Ollie Ollie Outs in Free" (1941) was the title of one of Perry Como's novelty songs.
The phrase was used as the title for a 1978 film starring Katharine Hepburn.
In ''Seinfeld'' Season 7 Episode 8, "The Pool Guy", when Newman was running toward the pool to jump in he yelled the phrase, after which he lands on the pool boy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seinfeld Scripts - The Pool Guy )〕
