'''''La vache qui tache''''' (English: "the [[Cattle|cow]] that stains") is a [[party game]] that originated in [[France]]. The only prop required is a [[stopper (plug)|cork]], one end of which has been blackened by a [[Candle|candle flame]].

Assign each player a number. Player one calls out "''Je suis la vache qui tache sans taches numéro 1 et j'appelle la vache sans taches numéro X''" ("I am the cow who spots with zero spots number 1, and I call the cow with zero spots number X"), where X is the number of any other player. When the game first starts no-one has any spots, so the number of spots is zero, or "sans tache". The next player, X, must immediately repeat the phrase, using his/her own number and another player for X ("I am the spotted cow with zero spots number X, and I call the cow with zero spots number Y"), where Y is the number of any other player. The game repeats this way until someone makes a mistake.

If a player makes a mistake, like mixing up the cow numbers, taking too long to respond, or calling the wrong number of spots, that player gets "spotted", using the blackened cork to make a big round black dot on their face. If a player gets one spot, then that player must say "I am the spotted cow with one spot..." and so on for the number of spots received.

Each mistake earns a player another spot, and both the player's number of spots and the number of spots of the player called must be taken into account every time a player is called. The game may continue indefinitely or end when someone gets a certain number of spots.<ref>{{cite web|title=La vache qui tâche|url=http://www.jeuxaboire.fr/autres-jeux/20-la-vache-qui-tache|work=Jeux a boire|accessdate=25 February 2013}}</ref>

A French [[idiom]] for being falling-down-drunk is "black faced" in reference to this game.

==Ibble Dibble==
'''Ibble Dibble''', or '''Ripple Tipple''' in [[Australasia]], is an English variant. It also involves marking people's faces with a blackened cork or a similar substance such as peanut butter.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ibble Dibble|url=http://www.realbeer.com/fun/games/games-165.php|work=Realbeer.com|accessdate=25 February 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Curran|first=Josie|title=Organised Fun for Grown-Ups|year=2011|publisher=Pan Macmillan|isbn=9780752227559|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BpUsPCFdOW8C&q=ibble+dibble&pg=PT138}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=365 Family Games and Pastimes|year=2012|publisher=Random House|page=40|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ySKNHuS34qcC&q=ibble+dibble&pg=PA40|author=Martin Toseland, Simon Toseland|isbn=9781448156832}}</ref>

Ibble Dibble is similar, with one variant using the name of the person instead of a number. For example: "I am Ibble Dibble Kyle with no Dibble Ibbles calling Ibble Dibble Kate with one Dibble Ibble."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3669982/Perfectly-silly-party-games.html|title=Perfectly silly party games|date=14 Dec 2007|work=Seven (Sunday Telegraph)|accessdate=2009-03-25}}</ref> Another variant is referring to "spots," saying "I'm number one spot, I've got no spots, how many spots has number X spot got?".

==Commercialisation==
In 2004 ''la vache qui tache'' was made into a commercial party game, distributed by Jeux F.K.<ref>[http://www.trictrac.net/index.php3?id=jeux&rub=detail&inf=detail&jeu=3585 La vache qui tache !] {{in lang|fr}}</ref>

In [[human anatomy]], the '''inguinal triangle''' is a region of the [[abdominal wall]]. It is also known by the [[eponym]] '''Hesselbach's triangle''', after [[Franz Kaspar Hesselbach]].

==Structure==
It is defined by the following structures:
* Medial border: [[Rectus abdominis muscle|Lateral margin of the rectus sheath]].<ref name=":0">{{cite book |author=Courtney M. Townsend Jr., MD, R. Daniel Beauchamp, MD, B.

* Superolateral border: [[Inferior epigastric vessel]]s.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
* Inferior border: [[Inguinal ligament]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

This can be remembered by the mnemonic RIP (Rectus sheath (medial), Inferior epigastric artery (lateral), Poupart's ligament (inguinal ligament, inferior).

==Clinical significance==
The inguinal triangle contains a depression referred to as the [[medial inguinal fossa]], through which [[direct inguinal hernia]]s protrude through the [[Human abdomen|abdominal]] wall.<ref>MedNote.
