Americans when you call it "rugby for girls" and not "runny jumpy catch between adverts":
How would Americans look when they realize they're using metric units to measure voltage, instead of some base 12 absurdity that is based on the measurements of some royalty?
The British invented the term soccer. If they give you shit about using it, tell them they can fuck right off.
British toffs invented the term soccer.
Soccer = aSSOCiation Football. It’s a British term.
Reference to it with proximity to yanks :
You are the only non yank there : Soccer
There are 60% yanks : Association football
There are 30% or less yanks : football
There are 0% yanks, and 100% Brits that actually like this boring sport : Footy
One of my all time favorite memes
Brits when you use the word that was invented by Brits for it.
Brits use the word because they weren't competent enough at Ōllamaliztli, so they had to invent a lesser sport with no ritual sacrifice.
no ritual sacrifice.
What is even the point then?
Oi! When I finish this pint after watching old top gear on Dave I’m gonna give you what for you America cunt!
where that bloke from?
He’s a fookin journo!
My favourite games are netball and rounders .....
Awr narr
Americans when you point out that the word "football" doesn't exclusively refer to gridiron.
It’s. Called. Soccer!!!
sock her? but you barely know her
Nope.
Your version should rightly be called handegg, though.
Football (the genre of games) wasnt named that because you kick the ball, but because it was played on foot, not horseback like polo. Rugby, was originally known as rugby football, after the school it was invented in
My version is called soccer.
Objectively wrong. And american "football" makes no sense as a name.
Football is a game played on foot. Gridiron is a football, same as soccer.
