In the U.S. (not to be overly obnoxious, but where most of the terminology
comes from), you have the "Play" and you have the "Greatest". The Play is
simply the act of throwing a disc back in bounds while in the air out of
bounds. The Greatest is the Play for a score. So, you can't, as above, do
the Greatest for a score. That is redundant.

Of course, this doesn't help the current debate, and I'm just being a pain
in the ass, but afterall, I am an American.
