What do other European countries call this? They don't play much cricket or baseball. Please tell me it's not "Das Backstop".
To me it conjures up memories of kids' games, standing well behind the keeper, picking the daisies, diving in dog poo, jumpers for stumps ...
Obviously it should be "longstop" but Yankee imperialism won out.
