Today , two expressions related to games. Card games, but also other types of games.
========================================= =========
to coat
====== ============================================
First of all What does it mean?
Who uses the expression "[I / We have] coat! " is saying that he won landslide victory against an opponent that has failed even to make a point of honor.
So what does that coat ? None.
is a complex story of language casts and cheerful confusion. We hope to make ourselves understood. The word comes from the French hood * *. It has nothing to do with the coat our (or rather, once a hood was a hooded cloak), but with games of cards.
only that there is a passive position of * * hood. One who is cards hood, we could say that it is KO, that has not even won a hand. So, who wins every game and concedes nothing to the opponent, makes it, he does hood. Faire hood quelqu'un .
At this point, in Italy, probably in francesissimo 700, take the expression as it is and you do a cast . * Faire hood * becomes * do coat *. But the suit has nothing to do.
Continuing to play cards, for example, "Seven and a half" ( read the rules here if you do not know ), in which a player can say, I busted * *.
============================================== ====
busting
bales of hay
============ =====================================
Unpack means going beyond the point (in this case, seven and a half) to be reached. 7 If you do not bust, if you 8, 15, 20 - in short, any amount exceeding half past seven, he busts.
But the bales got to do (see photo above)?
Yes, in the sense of d Isfar the dance (but that of canvas, not the picture of hay), with this act as if everything was lost and then fail (at least this is is shown by the etymological dictionary).
In fact, our concept of busting is everything as if it were a measure enclosing the bale and the "s" indicates its initial flooding, the spill, the proportion.
It goes without saying that those who busts do not win.
Then there's the buzz that nothing has (a) do with the game. This is the fun-based drugs or drunk. Or the two together. Best to avoid, perhaps.
