Seems like many obscure game/sport definitions are true.  Or more 
accurately, there have been more real game/sport definitions than there 
have been winning fake ones.  Which might just mean that everybody is 
skeptical of them.  Only one of the following five definitions is fake 
(and it was a winner).  Can you remember which one?

cottabus, n.  An ancient Greek game, which consisted in throwing wine 
from cups, without spilling, into metal basins.

manille. n.  [Fr. manille, from Sp. manilla, a game of cards, manille, 
from mano; L. manus, hand] In card playing, the card second in rank in 
the games omber and quadrille.

vigoro - n. - A team ball game combining elements of cricket and baseball.

pingo - n. - 1) Milton Bradley's 1947 game of duck hunting. 2) to shoot 
five ducks with five shots.

dormie - adj. (Golf) - In match play, ahead by as many holes as there 
are holes remaining to be played.
