Yo-Yo: The yo-yo is a toy consisting of two equally sized but not specifically equally weighted pieces of plastic, wood, or metal, connected with an axle, with a string looped around the axle. To play, you must slip the top loop over the end of your middle finger, and throw it down. Once it travels to the bottom of the string and returns to your hand, you grab it and throw it down again. There are many tricks for this game, like walk the dog, sleep, around the world, the metronome, and etc. First made popular in the 1920s, yo-yoing is still very much enjoyed by both children and adults.History

The earliest surviving yo-yo dates to 500 B.C. and is made using turtle skin disks. A Greek vase from this period shows a boy playing yo-yo.[1][2] Greek records from the period describe toys made out of wood, metal, or painted terra cotta (clay). The terra cotta disks were used to ceremonially offer the toys of youth to certain gods when a child came of age—discs of other materials were used for actual play. The idea that Philippine historical records indicate that 16th century hunters hiding in trees used a rock tied to a cord up to 20 feet in length to throw at wild animals beneath them—the cord enabling retrieval of the rock after missed attempts has no basis in fact. Conventional wisdom surmises that this was the basis of the yo-yo, but Valerie Oliver, one yo-yo enthusiast who fails to provide any factual basis for her contention, claims that the yo-yo traveled from China to Greece and to the Philippines.[3]

Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary states that the word "yo-yo" probably derives from the northern Philippine Ilokano language word "yóyo".

Many other sources including Panati’s Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things say that "yo-yo" was a Tagalog word, supposedly meaning “come-come” or “return.”[4]

A popular belief is that the yo-yo was a weapon for over 400 years in the Philippines.[5] However, the idea was debunked by the former president of the Filipino American National Historical Society[6] and by the chairman of the American Yo-Yo Association’s History and Collecting Committee.[7] Nonetheless, the allegation was used in a Diet Mountain Dew commercial in 2008 as part of the drink's "Surprising Facts" ad campaign.[8]

The principal distinction between the Filipino design and more primitive yoyos is in the way the yo-yo is strung. In older (and some remaining inexpensive) yoyo designs, the string is tied to the axle using a knot. With this technique, the yoyo just goes back-and-forth; it returns easily, but it is impossible to make it sleep.

In the Filipino design, one continuous piece of string, double the desired length, is twisted around itself to produce a loop at one end which is fitted around the axle. Also termed a looped slip-string, this seemingly minor modification allows for a far greater variety and sophistication of motion, thanks to increased stability and suspension of movement during free spin.

Surprisingly, this innovation in the string design is useful even for off-string yoyo play, in which the yoyo is not attached to the string at all. The looped winding ensures that the free end of the string has no bulges, splices, or other non-uniformities, which can cause the string to jam uncontrollably in off-string play.
