Sources for "calling dibs"

edit

Iona and Peter Opie's classic The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren has a rather extensive discussion of the culture of children around "gaining an object", p. 134, p. 195, and elsewhere. That would be a good place to start on a rewrite of the "dibs" article that does not fall into the WP:DICTDEF trap. --Macrakis (talk) 09:40, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

is there any particular difference between "calling dibs" and the Chicago practice? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 17:06, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
