Yes i remember the those elementary days, cooties, those annoying girls that used to chase me around, the 10 kids that got expelled in kindergarten for claiming they didn't want boy cooties or girls cooties but they clearly did want it.
We had cooties when I was a kid. We would get pretend cootie shots. Or maybe we called it something else? I can't really remember, but we definitely had a game were we would get a pretend shot to avoid getting germs from other people. Might have been lurgi.
Cooties are known in Denmark as "pigelus" (literally "girl lice"), and "drengelus" ("boy lice") and in Norway as "jentelus" ("girl lice") and "guttelus" ("boy lice"). In Sweden and Finland, it usually refers to girls, where they are known as "tjejbaciller" (literally "girl bacilli") and "tyttöbakteeri" ("girl bacteria").
Where i spent my youth, we definitely had cooties, as well as tap tap no erasies and jinx. I was too busy playing tether ball, soccer, dodge ball, four square and caroms with the boys to care what I got from touching them. The girls were usually doing boring stuff. Once puberty hit in jr. high, that all changed of course.
