Pec manam domam seit ir domatas ilgas un nogurdinosas debates vai sacikstes. Vacu valoda loti labs tulkojums butu "Schlammschlacht", kas pilnigi atbilst anglu "turf war". Motivs sim nosaukumam ir salidzinajums ar "dublu kauju", jo kausanas dublos nav viegla, tapec ka, pasam iestigusam lidz lieliem tev vel ir jatrapa pretiniekam. Atvaino, ka rakstu bez garumzimem un keksisiem, citadi nevaru. Ata
