From the stats I can find, it's pretty close to a 50/50 split in the US for IOS/Android; IOS slightly ahead.

Kinda sounds like Marble Madness that I used to play a lot on NES. Found Switchball by searching for games similar to Ballance. Is that it?

Mexican is a nationality, not a race.

Are there universal words, and what are they? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Have you heard of Cockney rhyming slang? Take a word like "fart", use a two part word that rhymes with it, like "raspberry tart", then drop the rhyming part. That leaves you with "raspberry" meaning "fart" and no discernible connection to the old words this utterance/meaning pair came from.

So that's where "blowing raspberries" came from? Pretty neat.
