Talk:Quoits

message: As a lifelong resident of Edmonds, WA, I have never heard of the game of quoits, or of any park benches being broken in order to make quoit boxes. After consulting several friends who also live in Edmonds and have never heard of the game, I removed the statement from the article. I am curious as to who in Edmonds plays this game?24.17.77.57 06:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Not exactly. Look at the picture on this article, and compare to this.  However, Quoits could be a possible subset of Ring Toss, I guess. --58.174.73.169 (talk) 07:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

message: In the late 60's & early 70's in South Florida for physical education we played a game with about a 6 inch diameter ribbed, rubber quoit in a setup similar to badminton. If you caught the quoit you threw it back with an upward flick of your wrist; if you didn't catch it and it fell in-bounds, you lost a point. Possibly Tenniquoits/Ring-Tennis or Tennikoit. The setup for Ring-Tennis appears to be slightly different than for Tennikoit.

thread_title: Rubber Quoits Variation

message: Quoits is another spelling of Coits ("anything thrown at a certain mark").  The word coit (and Quoit) was often used for the the ancient Greek's discus.  It was with a coit that Apollo slew Hyacinth according to the ancient Greek myth. Similarly, Perseus accidentally killed Acrisius with a discus.  The serial story "Candide, or, the Optimist" (1759) told of children throwing gem-encrusted coits.  Coit probably from the old French "coite" meaning flat stone. "Coit" was indeed used in the 18th century to describe broad stones "whose breadth and length greatly exceeded their thickness. 98.249.185.122 (talk) 02:24, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
