* Singlish is a largely spoken creole, and as such descriptivism (recording forms that reflect actual pronunciation in spoken language, or as appearing in the linguistic corpus) is more pertinent than strict prescriptivism. Nevertheless, the use of more standard forms (or for words originating in languages with Latin script, such as Malay, accurate to the original spelling) is recommended and encouraged.

Detailed etymology
definitions
noun
- a game played between two players who start off facing one another, with one foot in front of the other and the tip of the forward foot touching the opponent’s. They then play scissors paper stone, with the winner of each bout putting their forward foot behind their back foot (toe-to-heel). Their opponent then has to stretch out their forward foot until it once again touches the now-forward foot of the winner, while keeping their back leg in place. The game continues until one player is physically unable to stretch to reach their opponent’s foot, or falls over or unplants their back leg in the process of trying, at which point their opponent is declared the winner.
