mushpot

the center of a circle in such games as duck-duck goose; a quagmire of sorts where a person is stuck in the middle

1. As a child, Betsy used to play a game where she and her friends could only walk on furniture and materials on the floor that were not the carpet. Anyone who fell off or touched the carpet got put in the mushpot until someone else failed.

2. Q: "Where are we going to sit the new engineer? We have no space."
A: "Well, we could put him in the mushpot."
