The Tau of taupok

Hilarious article on the perils of Taupok-ing. Had no idea the activity was called "Taupok" during our school days, but participated anyway and no-one was hurt, all part of growing up as a Singaporean guy (including being whacked between the legs at the flagpole).

Excepts:

So, pardon my middle-aged ignorance, but if it is an all-girl taupok, is it called a tauhuay?

And if it is a mixed taupok — God forbid — is it known as a taunee?

What if the guys taupok-ing are of an alternative persuasion? Taugay?

And if a Singapore Idol is taupok-ed, would we call it a Taufik?
