sir samuel n A game in which players are tricked to carry out wrong command.
1861 DE BOILIEU 109-0 A favourite Christmas game amongst the men, enacted nearly every night during the holidays, is—or was—one called 'Sir Samuel and his Man Samuel,' in which you are to obey the orders of the first, but not of the second. Consequently, when Sir Samuel gives an order, his man contradicts it; and whoever obeys the latter becomes the object of 'after-consideration,' which means that he is physically punished, fined, or given some laborious task to perform.
