The term 'SHOOTS A MARBLE' can be abbreviated to TAWS, which stands for 'Throws a Marble'. This is an activity that has been around for centuries, and involves throwing a small round object, such as a marble, at a target. The goal is to hit the target with the marble, and the person who hits the target the most times wins the game. It is a popular pastime among children, and can also be used as a form of competition.
