Why when you can't find everyone are you supposed to yell "Olly Olly Oxen Free"
What does it mean? Where does it come from? Why am I setting my Oxen Free? I don't even have oxen! I wish I did....because....lets face it......that'd be awesome.

"Olly, Olly, Oxen Free"
Is actually a derrivation of the German phrase: "Alle, alle auch sind frei"

I've never heard anyone say that. Why don't you just find all the people and you won't have that problem.

Hmmm...I've never heard that. We never said that when we played.
