Quis-ego

The cultural convention of quis-ego, found among students in primary and secondary schools in England and other members of the Commonwealth, is a way to distribute free or unwanted goods. A person with something he wishes to give away shouts "quis?" (pronounced "kwis", sometimes "kwiz"); the first person to reply "ego" (pronounced "EH-go") gets it. The words are simply a direct use of Latin vocabulary, the question quis? asking "who?" (i.e., "who wants it?") and the response ego affirming "I !"
