---- (:comment Write term as a title in lower case except where upper case or capitals are normally required:) '+Term:+' (:comment Write term on this line, after this comment:) barrarotta '+Definition+': A team game especially enjoyed by Don Bosco and the boys at the Oratory and long thereafter (still)! Consists broadly in two teams lined up against their own base line. A member from the other team may only tag (catch) a member from the other team who has run into play before him. Once tagged, that player becomes a prisoner. Any player from the opposite side who gets as far as the opposition's base line (barra) has 'broken' (rotta) the line and gains a point. Every 3 prisoners is also worth a point. Prisoners can be freed by touching the outstretched hand of the last prisoner caught. ---- '''POS''' (part of speech). ''Can be more than one'':

'+Description+': 'From one side they looked to the glory of beating Don Bosco; from the other they rejoiced because they were sure of victory!' all in reference to DB playing barrarotta with them in the courtyard. Interesting to note that Don Bosco had once vowed (when he took on the clerical habit) to give up playing barrarotta, among other pursuits. From a comment in MB III, 216-7 it is obvious he did not hold to that once at The Oratory!

'+Context (examples of use)+': The game that we call "Barrarotta" was his favourite. Michael found life very much to his liking. (''Life of Micahel Magone'', by Don Bosco)

'+Other notes+': ''Barra rotta'' is another possible spelling.

(:zapend:) (:zapform key=Type:) '''Term type''' ('EntryTerm' ''if no other applies)'' (1) (2) [Initialisms like AGC are regarded as acronyms; a term like 'Bro.' is an abbreviation; an example of short form instead would be the main part of a very long book title (most of DB's book titles! 'Giovane Provveduto' is a short form). A loan term is not translated whereas a calque is. A blend is where two (or more) morphemes or 'word' parts have been combined to form a single term, as in the case of 'austraLasia'. Choose variant when there exists at least one other common form of the term. ] (:zapend:)

Deprecated indicates official disapproval or if not disapproval, official abandonment at least.
