 * The card game Illuminati uses Straight to mean normal, everyday, ordinary, i.e. the opposite of Weird. In the contemporary era, we speak of mainstream and fringe subcultures.

 * The classic board game Cape Horn is absolutely full of this.

Prepare for a lot of Heh Heh, You Said "X" if you try to play it with someone particularly immature.
