Nothing new; here in the Netherlands we call them 'Dwarsliggers': https://www.bol.com/nl/ra/dwarsligge...reness___48904
That's something of a language joke: 'dwarsligger' means 'obstructionist' or 'fractious person', but translated literally it means 'something that lies across'. |

What's new is that someone outside the Netherlands discovered the format and thought "Cool idea! We should do that here!" :-D
