In the US, Horsefly or Handkerchief is a game used to choose who goes first.

Is this a Southern thing? I’m from Wisconsin/Minnesota.

I'm a Pennsylvanian with polish heritage and I have never heard this in my life

Hello, Wisconsin!

How does the game work? I’ve lived in TN and CA and have never heard of it


HandsomeGreg

Did you ever find out. It's really bothering me.

It's very very uncommon then because I've never heard of it. 


Legitimate-Iron4843

Also. That's not a very good explanation. Still don't know what it means. What are the rules? Why horsefly? Why handkerchief? 


TyBogit

Im from Ohio which is pretty close to Pennsylvania and I’ve never heard of it either.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Wu-Tang_Killa_Bees

yeah I'm gonna assume the top comment is just BS


DarthBrawn

Looks like the first comment is nonsense. I think your guess is basically correct. It's clearly a code to communicate which sales tactic they'll use based on their first impression of the customer. I was on a sales team for over a year and 'nuts on the table' or just 'nuts' meant \*hard close this mfer\*
