[Opinions] are you sure it was a person?

I ask because there's a game called Marco Polo. I've usually seen it played in pools but I guess you could play it on land too. You blindfold everyone and the person who is It tries to find the others, occasionally calling out "Marco!" and the others then call out "Polo!" so It has to find people by sound. The trick is to not get caught by the others. There's an art to calling out Marco often enough to figure out where people are but not so often you get caught.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Maybe this was just a nickname referring to the game. The adults were calling the kid that.
