Olly olly oxen free (and variants: ollie ollie umphrey, olly-olly-ee, ally ally in free[SUP][/SUP], ally alley ocean free, etc. ) is a catchphrase used in such children's games as hide and seek to indicate that players who are hiding can come out into the open without losing the game, that the position of the sides in a game has changed (as in which side is in the field or which side is at bat or "up" in baseball or kickball), or, alternatively, that the game is entirely over. It is thought to derive from the phrase "All ye, all ye 'outs' in free,","All the outs in free" or possibly "Calling all the 'outs' in free;" in other words: all who are "out" may come in without penalty.[SUP][/SUP] However, this may not be the etymology at all--"Olly olly oxen free" is suspiciously close to the German phrase "Alle, alle auch sind frei," meaning "everyone, everyone is also free." Various calls used for such purposes have gone by the collective name of "ollyoxalls" in some places.[SUP][/SUP]
Ξέρω ότι στο κρυφτό εμείς λέμε "φτου και βγαίνω", αλλά υπάρχει κανένα τραγουδάκι που λέει αυτός που τα φυλάει όσο τα άλλα παιδιά τρέχουν να κρυφτούν;
