Mama says foosball is the devil!
It's not as dangerous as stick hockey
ice hockey > stick hockey
Air hockey > sex with office dogs
Tbf that right thing is a VERY low bar
Stepping on a Lego brick is more enjoyable
Depends. Chihuahua or mini-pin, yeah, I agree. But a golden-doodle? That's a tough call.
Diddle a doodle a day, keeps the...
Hold on, someone's at my door. Brb
How do you know? You're disgusting!
Unless i forgot how words work (I am very good at forgetting) I meant litteraly anything is better than doing it with a dog
I don't know. You seem to know a lot about where having dog sex fits on a scale of enjoyment... Hmmm
Well I love my dog but not like that
Nasty
I'm just kidding with ya. Oh well
I am too dumb to people
Just one of those days
It was a weak (and weird) attempt on my part. You're absolutely fine.
My good sir/madam I wish you a good day and may your interactions be better than mine
Thank you my friend. Enjoy your weekend!
It's either Football or the local equivalent to "Foot" and "Ball".
The sport with the egg is "American Football". And you US citizens can call our football "European Football" and not *Soccer".
Foosball specifically refers to the tabletop game in America.
Foosball is just an Americanized spelling of "Fußbal" which is German for Football.
Wasn't the name "soccer" originally from England?
Edit: it was, and it was used for ~100 years in England until around 1960 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football
Well England sucks :p /s
See now we've got a valid argument going
Yeah but only poshos call it "soccer" here to distinguish it from "rugger"
who the hell calls rugby "rugger"? that's even worse than "soccer".
Public schoolboys (i.e. the very posh), yes it's weird
This is foosball.
The sport with the egg is "gridiron football", we call it "football" for short for the same reason other countries call association football "football" for short, it's the most popular variant here.
We don't call it "American football" because that's not what it's called, you lot say that because of point 2. Nobody is going to say "European football" because that's not what it's called either.
The word "soccer" was imported from the UK (seriously that word is british as hell, you really think we came up with that shit?), and we use it for reasons outlined in points 2 and 3, and also because "european football" is inaccurate, tiresome, and stupid sounding.
~~5. This is the first and only time I've ever heard of rugby union football being referred to as "ruggers", I never thought I'd read a dumber-sounding word than soccer but you're just full of surprises today.~~ For some reason i was imagining one of the replies was the same person, this was in error.
