Your logic is correct, but a lead of 31 > looks objectivelt different on the physical scoreboard. FWIW playing in a Cribbage League many years ago in Devon and Cornwall this is exactly how we referred to a defeat where one side did not get beyond the third street. 'We won by a street' or 'We got beaten by a street'. Uttered the latter many a time. >>> common in North American cribbage circles. >> The other words I might have expected were "lurch" and "schneider". >>> I have heard that term for beating someone at 15-ball pool I have a cribbage game on my Mac and I often get 'skunked'. -- "To err, as they say, is human. To forgive is divine. To err by withholding your forgiveness until it's too late is to become divinely fucked up." ― Jonathan Tropper, The Book of Joe |
