Being in Paris today I was browsing through French newspapers online and I was surprised to find this. It is an article on funny, picturesque words, sentences, expressions used by French rugby players. Even though I have long been a rugby fan (and player as a kid), I ignored that "sortir le casque a pointe" ("get the spiked helmet out" or, more likely "wear the spike helmet") means to get involved into particularly harsh, even brutal physical action during a game!..
