Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps (i) < cod v.² (although this is first attested slightly later) + 'em pron., or perhaps (ii) < quod v. + him pron.In some descriptions of the game, this is also said to be the call made when asking to reveal a hand (compare the similar situation at tip-it n.); in other descriptions, the calls are identified as being completely different.

Originally and chiefly British. Now historical.

A guessing game in which a number of players, typically in two teams of three, try to guess in whose hand a button or coin is concealed. Cf. tip-it n., up Jenkins n.
