Le français n'a pas d'équivalent réel pour «shooter», cette pierre que l'on place dans la maison et qui est susceptible de marquer. L'expression française pour rendre «to lose one's shooter», «perdre sa pierre», porte aussi le sens d'exécuter un mauvais lancer ou d'avoir lancé une pierre qui ne peut marquer ou qui a été retirée du jeu. 1, record 1, French, - perdre%20une%20pierre%20qui%20marque
