This should be fun to try an explain."Cooties" is an imaginary disease caused by equally imaginary bugs (think: virus or bacteria) that every child growing up in the 'States is familiar with. Being spotted by one of your classmates as you make physical contact with a member of the opposite sex is the best way to bring on a case of the Cooties, but even TALKING to a member of the opposite sex could, potentially, infect someone with Cooties depending on who spots the exchange. Once the word is out you have Cooties, well, the shit is pretty much destined to hit the fan. Having a case of Cooties is a dire playground situation and leads to complications, like teasing, both on and off the playground. The whole thing is just a big, silly children's game and dies out around, oh I don't know... Around age 10 or so, I guess.</blockquote>
