        It’s a game played with knives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblety-peg

        Basically, you take a knife and try to get it to stick into the ground. The simplest versions of it are about how deep it goes into the ground. But when you’re playing serious, you do tricks, like flipping it up, bouncing it off of various body parts and hopefully getting it to stick into the ground. It’s way more challenging than it seems on the surface, especially since you don’t use specialized knives, you use regular pocket and sheath knives that aren’t going to be perfectly balanced.

        aggressive mumbletypeg would be where you try and get it to stick into your opponent.
