Rekkies is from the word Rekken, which means Stretch.

I think we used to call them elastic bands and rubber bands back in Scotland.

Nowadays I presume they are low-grade terrorist weapons and are banned from schools altogether.

Shame really. This is a classic case of the unfortunate loss of cultures due to globalisation.

elastic bands - and when i left school the "craze" of folding a peice of paper into a hardstrip with a fold in the middle and launching it off the band was (finally) almost dead...they hurt. badly...

What does American beer and having sex in a canoe have in common?

They are both f***ing close to water.





Oh, and we call them rubber bands in Aust. We're a proper English colony and haven't gone off the rails entirely like other naughty, little rebellious countries I could name.

LOL, having lived in Canada I can almost believe that.

Laggy band is short for elastic band, which is correct.
