[1] Literally "stop at my finger", this expression is used by children to gather others for a game (i.e. tag)
[2] In one of the traditional Japanese children's play, the "Oni" covers his or her eyes with a blindfold, and tries to catch the other players just by the sound of their hands clapping. This line is repeatedly said by the other players to encourage the "Oni" to come and try to get them.
