Originating in Yorkshire, in the 1940s,[1] woggle hopping is the act of jumping over an object that is the same height, or higher than a woggle.
George Corner, a scoutmaster in West Yorkshire wanted his scouts to stay fit. He told the scouts they should be fit enough to jump over any item the height of their woggle.[2] Corner would often demonstrate this point by jumping over pillar boxes.[3][4][5]
