Fliperama


Explanation:
Oi Lissy.

Retirei uma resposta que pensei ser o que estava pensando mas em termos de jogos eletrônicos no Brasil chamamos de Fliperama: Jogo que consiste em fazer pontos cada vez que uma bilha aciona mecanismos elétricos no interior de um apranhca inclinada. Jogo eletrônico acionado com movimentos bruscos dos dedos, principalmente os polegadores (thumb).

Praticado por pirralhos e marmanjos que não tiverem infäncia, é o terror de pais e professores e grande responsável pelo alto índice de absenteísmo nas escolas do Brasil.
