language game

Different language games, as I call them. And the meaning of the word is just the way it's used in a particular language game.
Différents jeux de langage, comme je les appelle. Le sens d'un mot, c'est... son usage dans un jeu de langage particulier.
I should like to underline a point for the future: if you start to set a precedent of playing the language game in order to block votes, you are going to be faced with the worst imaginable gridlock and headache.
Je voudrais mettre un point en exergue pour l’avenir : si vous commencez à invoquer l’excuse des problèmes de langue pour bloquer les votes, vous serez confrontés à la pire impasse et aux pires problèmes imaginables.
