Trippit and Coit
A game formerly known under the appellation of " Trippets," Newcastle. It is the same as "Trip-cat" in some southern counties. The trippet is a small piece of wood obtusely pointed —something like a shoe—hollow at one end, and having a tail a little elevated at the other, which is struck with a buckstick. It is also called " Buckstick, Spell-and-Ore."—Brockett's North Country Words. See also Dickinson's Cumberland Glossary. Halliwell's Dictionary says—The game is almost peculiar to the North of England. There is a poem called "The Trip Match " in Mather's Songs.
See "Nur and Spel," "Trap, Bat, and Ball."

—Halliwell's Nursery Rhymes, cccxlviii. A game rhyme, but undescribed.
