In a wild west town a burly blacksmith throws horseshoe straight through the wooden peg he was aiming at shattering it. A sheriff, a horse and a skinny youth look on with townspeople spectating in the background. The skinny youth complains.
The Scottish Word:

Fung.

Sheriff! Are ye gonna tell that man that his toss is no a toss it’s a fung!

In the rules page twenty fower para seeven clause eicht “Fungs and tosses.” subsection yin, it sez, an I quote “The winning shoe is the yin that sits closest tae the peg and the peg is whaur the peg wiz pegged in wi no skelfs or braks.” see! They’ve encountered this afore.

Translate:

Fung: to throw violently and abruptly.

Sheriff! Are ye going to tell that man that his toss is not a toss it’s a fling!

In the rules page twenty four para seven clause eight “Flings and tosses.” subsection one, it says, and I quote “The winning shoe is the one that sits closest to the peg and the peg is where the peg was pegged in with no splinters or breaks.” see! They’ve encountered this before.
