Games with one-syllable names

[Espee]

I'm really only bringing it up because...
on a Burns and Allen show from 1940 (my copy of which, has poor sound quality) Gracie says "We're going to play a game I made up out of my own head.." and George says (well at first I thought he said) "Oh... FLUFF?"
I don't think he's saying FLUFF. But what game has a name which would serve as an insult to the contents of Gracie's head?

Well, there's "Flinch," which was a popular card game for a very long time, but that wouldn't be much of an insult. Fluff was and is a marshmallow cream spread popular in New England, but there's no game by that name.

There was a game called Snap but I doubt that was it. Maybe it was fluff? It fits the scene and she did say she made it up.

George was always careful not to insult Gracie or hurt her feelings so fluff would be about as strong a crack as he would use.

In a lot of these 1940 shows, there are remarks about her... kookiness. Not so many "dumb Dora" type jokes, but highlighting her non-standard thinking.
On my mp3 player, backing up and replaying is a bit of a hassle, but I'll have to do that and try to figure it out.
When I got this disk about three years ago, I could say "There's someone who's still alive-- Tony Martin.". But he's gone now.

Not Fluff-like at all, but the first one that came to my mind was Pit, a card game about commodity trading, invented in 1904 by, of all people, the legendary mystic Edgar Cayce.

I got it-- it turns out to be a "game" of a less formal nature.
"It's a sort of a kind of a game, I made up out of my own head."
"Oh... BLOCKS?"
