You've never seen a court before?

    Right? This is the most amazing discussion I've ever been part of.

    I don't think I'll ever be able to pass a court again without impulsively telling whoever I'm with "You know they don't have those everywhere".

    It'll be my new Aragorn's broken toe.

    The kind with a judge or the kind with basketball hoops?

    But no, first time I've heard of it.

    I think 'cul-de-sac' is the closest translation for yanks

    You think wrong, that's not even an English word for fucks sake, nobody knows what the hell that means.

    Just call it a dead end.

    It's a loan word. English is full of them.
    That's the closest term I could find that describes the unique type of dead end that a court is.
    Not all dead ends are cul-de-sac's but all cul-de-sac's are dead ends.
