Editorial Comment I have merged them. The 外来語 "ユニーク" has a broader meaning than the English original.

CommentWith reference to your comment [31/12/08], namely: "Never heard of "knock down ginger" before", I have tried a search on Google and it shows several thousand entries; some of which seem to describe the "game" quite well.

Current Entry教鞭 [きょうべん] /(n) teacher's whip/teaching school/ (1237330)
Headword 1教鞭
Reading 1きょうべん
Part-of-speechn
English 1(teacher's) pointer
Commentkokugo dictionary entries are somewhat equivocal, but i would guess that this refers either to a 'pointer' or possibly a 'rod' or a 'cane', not to a 'whip'.

google image hits (all chinese) bring up laser pointers

i think the figurative sense (clearly indicated in 教鞭をとる) is unnecessary here (no kokugo dictionary mentions it)
