It involved "striking one end of a sharpened piece of wood causing it to rise and then driving it some distance with a stick";{{sfnp|George|1992|p=322|ps=}} the object was to hit it as far as possible. The name "giddy-gaddy" for the game appears only in the court leet records of the manor of Manchester,{{sfnp|Manchester court leet|1884|p=205|ps=}} an indication of the disruption and damage it caused in the streets of industrial areas such as Ardwick.{{sfnp|Cooper|2007|p=17|ps=}} ReferencesNotesBibliography{{refbegin}}
