A try in rugby is so-called because you originally didn’t get points for it. You had to do a try to be given a chance to score a kick over the bars. So, you didn’t get points, you got a try.

enough of your technical sports jargon!

It’s such a stupid way of checking though. “Oh there are brown m&ms in the bowl, they must not have read the spec and therefore probably haven’t bothered using real screws when building the stage”.

No, they just didn’t go through your m&ms because we’ve all got better things to do.
