🤝 GOOD CURLING — The traditional handshake and greeting before and after every game. Curling is famous for its sportsmanship — win or lose, you shake hands and say "good curling." It's the heart of the sport, and it's why we love it.

⚖️ WEIGHT — How hard a stone is thrown. "Draw weight" gently reaches the house; "takeout weight" comes in hot. Calling the right weight is half the battle — too little and you're short, too much and you sail through.

🔥 BURNED STONE — When a moving stone gets touched by a player or broom mid-travel. It's an honest-mistake penalty, and curling runs on the honor system — players often call it on themselves. The sport's got integrity built in.

🏆 BONSPIEL — A curling tournament. Part competition, part social gathering, always a good time. Teams travel in, play multiple games, and the après-curling is half the fun. Add it to your vocabulary now — you'll be going to one soon. 😉

💧 PEBBLE — Those tiny frozen water droplets sprayed onto the sheet before play. They're what makes the ice "curl" in the first place. No pebble, no curling — the whole sport rides on these little bumps.

🎯 THE BUTTON — The exact center of the house. Get your stone closest to the button and you're sitting pretty. It's the bullseye within the bullseye — the ultimate target.

🛡️ GUARD — A stone placed in front of the house to protect another stone behind it. Guards block your opponent's path and set up your strategy. Curling is basically chess on ice — guards are how you build the board.

💥 TAKEOUT — The opposite of a draw. You throw with extra weight to knock an opponent's stone out of play. Less finesse, more force. Sometimes the best defense is just clearing the board.

🎯 DRAW — A shot thrown with just enough weight to come to rest in the house, rather than knocking anything out. It's the finesse shot — all touch and timing. A perfect draw to the button is one of the most satisfying things in the sport.
