Gauntlets
Medieval hand protection. Two variations were finger
gauntlets, comprised of steel over the top of the hand and individual, articulated plates of steel over the fingers to give movement for sword and Bill. The other variation were
Mitts, same steel over the hand, but just one plate or slightly curved steel over the fingers, instead of the
articulation. Gloves were worn underneath the metal, for grip on the weapons and general protection.Could be plain, or highly decorated, depending on the period and the fashions of the time.

A ritual usually performed for initiation or as a punishment in
waterpolo. All the players line up to form a corridor, and one player attempts to swim through. This player is then kicked and
punched as he tries to swim through. Common injuries from this include
broken ribs, concussions and internal bleeding in the rectum.
Example:
How the fuck did you miss that shot, that deserves a
gauntlet!
Doctor: *examining prostate* Have you been sexually abused in the last 12 months?
Patient: Nah I just joined a
waterpolo club and had to
run the gauntlet.

A drinking game where cards are placed face down in a diamond formation 1-2-3-2-1. Participants turn over the cards at one end, then selecting a card from the next row and so on until they complete the gauntlet. If a player pulls a face card they drink. 1,2,3 & 4 fingers of their drink for
pulling a J,Q,
K & A respectively. The cards that have been turned over are then replaced with face down cards from the deck and they must start again. The gauntlet is only completed when a player makes a
clean run i.e. goes through all rows without picking a face card.

Gauntlet was originally an
arcade game made in the early 80's. It was one of the first "top-down" view
role playing games, in which you could control one of four types of player classes. The objective of the game was to find keys and kill enemies and proceed to new rooms. Has seen many incarnations on various systems over time.
