Very nice introduction to bughouse. For the players interested in 
online bughouse the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) located at
www.freechess.org is a very good starting point.

In Mexico Bughouse is known as ESPARTACO like the Roman slave. Drop a pawn
in 7th rank is not permited, but the rules can vary and nobody knows how it
came to Mexico, but it is really delightful specially for young people, who
considers it with so much excitement.

In Australia we call it 'Transfer chess', or normally just 'Transfer'. 
Normally played with 5 minute time controls, no increment, and the team
loses when either player loses.  When a player is about to get mated they
will wait until their time runs out, unless their partner's opponent has
more time, in which case they will resign :)

Table talk generally includes 'knight is mate' (meaning that player can
give checkmate with a knight) or 'don't give him a knight!' (meaning if
that player's opponent gets a knight, some kind of terrible disaster will
happen), but suggestions of moves to play for your partner are frowned
upon.

Questions like 'Should I sac my queen for a pawn?' are also acceptable.
