But it must refer to some other activity. In the US many such phrases
refer to sports, particularly baseball and (US style) football, but
also billiards and golf. Sticky wicket is I assume to do with cricket,
etc. Maybe I'm missing the boat on this and swings and roundabouts is
Shakespeare inspired, but it surely comes from somewhere.
