whack or poppin?

I think we may have invented the greatest game ever at school today. As I was decompressing at the end of a fairly insane day with two other teachers, our already mildly delirious conversation took a turn for the...delirious-er(?) as we created "whack or poppin?" Here's how you play. Pick something that exists in the world. then ask, is it whack, or is it poppin? You can play in a group or by yourself and the fun goes on forever. Here are some examples to get you started:
  • sentence fragments: whack or poppin?
    • A: whack
  • global history: whack or poppin?
    • A: poppin
  • Bon Jovi: whack or poppin?
    • A: you already know it's poppin

now try a few on your own:
  1. Tom Brady
  2. Eli Manning
  3. No Child Left Behind
  4. puffer fish
  5. the electric slide
  6. Stanford
  7. Cal
It's no Jump to Conclusions mat, but I think it's poppin.

(The correct answers are: 1. poppin 2. whack 3. whack minus 4. poppin 5. whack plus 6. poppin 7. what's lower than whack?)
