Padiddle
Padiddle, alternatively spelled pediddle, perdiddle and kadiddle, is a Canadian and American slang term for a vehicle with a burnt-out headlight or brake light. It is also the name of a nighttime travel game involving spotting such vehicles. Cars with only one illuminated tail light are called pidadle in some areas of the country.
Another version of Padiddle involves spotting a yellow car, such as a taxi or sports car and responding the same way. An optional variation involves calling out "Padunkle" upon spotting a car without headlights turned on at night, awarding the spotter double points.
==History==
The word Padiddle originated in the 1950s in suburban Westchester County, New York. In the post World War II era, cruising was a common teenage dating activity, which gave rise to the game. A boy making the discovery would kiss his date, a girl would punch her date on the arm. Qualifying vehicles must be visible through the windshield of the vehicle, "Padiddles" seen through a side or rear-view mirror only count for half a point. A motorcycle misidentified as a Padiddle is a foul that awards the offender's partner a double hit or kiss.
