Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 1-3-2007(144): He's so short, he can't even throw over a table while playing darts.

2) [nest0r] 25-11-2008(79): Sort of like ping pong, this kanji represents a game where you throw darts over a table at your opponent. The serve is rarely returned, so the games tend to be short.———— This character apparently refers to duration, not just to height.

3) [sindhikara] 4-1-2009(78): Mr. Bean somehow finds himself in an archery contest. He has no arrow's so he uses darts, (even though they are quite too short!). All of his shots land extremely short! (Picture Mr. Bean trying to shoot a dart and it landing short).

4) [richcoop] 30-6-2009(37): A short man can DART under the TABLE.

5) [Angrybeez] 13-9-2008(22): My short friend plays darts, but when he goes to pick them out, he has to climb up on the table we put next to the board.
