What do you do with

[Jiro]

Long story short; this thread is about idiots.

In my country, we have this sport called football. It's played with a spherical ball and you kick it into a net to win.

About four years ago we had the same sport but it was called soccer. However the governing bodies have realised that this is a stupid name and so rightfully changed it to football.

However, some people in my country are idiots and refuse to call it by its proper name. What should I do with these idiots?

Before I start getting heat from Americans, I would just like to say that whilst I disagree with your terminology, you are still allowed to call it soccer because in your country it is called soccer. You guys aren't idiots, just... different.

PS like I said this thread is about idiots and not football so it belongs in General Chat. An alternative topic is; "What do people incorrectly call things?"

It is not Kleenex, it is tissue paper; cotton swabs, not Q-Tips; acetaminophen, not Tylenol; ibuprofen, not Advil; ASA (acetylsalicylic acid), not Aspirin. Interesting side note: heroin was actually the brand name of diacetylmorphine, though in common vernacular the brand name replaced the medicinal one, like Tylenol, Advil and Aspirin.

EDIT: Oh and carbonated beverages? It's called pop not soda. Silly geese.

You forgot: jelly, not jell-o; bandage, not bandaid; photocopy not Xerox

[theundeadhero]

Jelly and jell-o are two entirely different things. Gelatin, not jell-o.

[blackmage_nuke]

Jam not jelly, jelly or gelatin not jello

Get your British ways out of here, we're speaking English!

Yes - if you are stupid enough to call soccer football in n. america you are being a huge douche.

I was with you until you proved you were wrong. Now I'm questioning everything else.

Slap them. Football's the finest sport on earth, literally nothing comes close, so when other sports want to steal the name it is them that must pay.

It's actually tissue; tissue paper is used for presents and .

And yeah, it's soda or soda pop. Either way it's soda.
