The new commercials for VW have everyone hitting each other when they see a VW. This is not the game and it's bugging me (pun intended.)
Open note to VW - please don't mess with the rules of slugbug. If I see a Jetta, I will not punch my friend. If I see a yellow 1967 Beetle, I'll yell "slugbug yellow!" and slug 'em in the arm. Thank you and good day.

Thank you. For a moment there I thought that I lived in a vacuum where all sensible people, ones who know the actual rules to "slug bug", had disappeared. In fact, when one of my friends called it "punch bug" many years ago, I berated him for an uncultured pig man. Who said that we could abandon the beauty of rhyming and aliteration?
When these commercials started coming out, I have been throwing fits every time I see them. Does VW not even know the rules to their own game?
At least someone out there "gets it."
I can't believe they are actually airing these! HELLO - I learned the rules to slugbug as a little kid! How can no one at VW know the rules? It still irritates me every time one comes on TV.
And "punch bug"??? I'm glad you berated him (then I hope you saw an ACTUAL slugbug and actually slugged him :))
I did "slug" him. He had the nerve to ask "what does slug mean, anyways?"
Oh...he knows now. He will always know...
