Sports / Fitness / Recreation / football | | English term or phrase: kicky/kicking points | This comes from a TV series. A drunk woman watching a football game on TV says: "My team is up three kicky (or kicking) points".
Could you please explain to me what those "kicky points" (or "kicking points") are? |

| | English translation:Poins scored by kicking the ball rather than in some other way | Explanation:
Kicking, not kicky. This concerns American football, about which I know very little, but in Rugby football, points can be scored by kicking a "try" over the goalposts after carrying it over the touchline. Points are awarded for the try and more points for "converting" it to a goal.
No doubt someone in the USA who knows more about the subject will give you a more comprehensive answer. |
