I think he is. Besides
It's soft drink
(or soda)
They're both tissue papers, the difference lies in their purpose and texture.It's actually tissue; tissue paper is used for presents andIt 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..
And yeah, it's soda or soda pop. Either way it's soda.
The term "soccer" originated in England, so they only have themselves to blame.

I am suddenly reminded of a story I was told last week. A friend of mine was in Subway and the guy before him, all suited up and professional, asked for some Japan-a-leenos. He turned to my friend and said, "I've never had them before, and what with that reactor about to go off, I don't know if I'll get another chance".
JAPANALENOS.
Just trick any idiots into moving that pile of boulders into the cave with the hungry bears are.
Also Martial arts are better than all your silly sports with balls.
Also also dodgebrick.
I tried telling a group of Americans this, and they laughed at me and then I was sad.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Ok, you've got:
Association Football (Association -> assoc -> Soccer)
Australian rules football
Gaelic Football
North American Football (Breaks down into Canadian and American Football)
Rugby Football (Breaks down into Rugby League and Rugby Union)
They are all known as Football, as they're all played on foot, rather than sitting on horse playing something like polo
If you're in the US and you say Football, it means American Football, because that version of playing with balls while on foot is most prominent there.
In England, you'd mean Association Football.
In Australia, I'm sorry to say Jiro, you'd mean Australian rules football, because like it or not, it's the most popular here. Yes, it may differ regionally, but unfortunately Association Football doesn't trump any of the other codes...
As for saying Soccer, instead of Association Football, well it's simply a slang version of Association, so quit your whining!
And don't come at me with that 'people should call it by the name that the governing body of the code assigns it' nonsense, because it's just not popular enough in Australia for it to take the colloquial title of Football.
According to Wikipedia soft drink includes things like Vitaminwater which is clearly not a soda.
So no.
Wikipedia is not the best source to cite when trying to prove a point.
But seriously, make a different thread if you want to debate that. It's fine to talk about for the sake of this topic, but quit trying to turn it into a debate. I'm getting a little tired of seeing you derail threads when someone expresses a different opinion than yours.
Soccer is either soccer or football.
Rugby is either rugby or footy.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
It all makes sense now. I never thought it did because in most of these sports you don't actually kick the ball with your foot.Ok, you've got:

Gaelic Football
North American Football (Breaks down into Canadian and American Football)
Rugby Football (Breaks down into Rugby League and Rugby Union)

This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...
Yeah, crowds at soccer games are dropping pretty quickly now. It's a shame, but truth be told, it'd take a lot to convince me to go to a soccer game instead of the footy.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION: Yeah, crowds at Association Football games are dropping pretty quickly now. It's a shame, but truth be told, it'd take a lot to convince me to go to an Association Football game instead of a Rugby League match.
I know we Australians can be pretty weird, but last time I checked I don't kick the ball with my hand.
There's plenty of kicking in all those codes of football. It's just that some of them use their hands too.

Football is Football. The rest are colonial offshoots of a markedly lower grade.
Just about everyone in Tennessee calls everything 'coke' it's soft drinks you smurfers. Thank god I'm from South Carolina.It is not Kleenex, it is tissue paper; cotton swabs, not Q-Tips; acetaminophen, not Tylenol; ibuprofen, not Advil; ASA (acetylsalicylic acid), not Aspirin.

Is that a challenge dear Eric?STFU I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU WHO TURN THIS INTO A SODAVPOP DEBATE.
I promise I will.
I'm American, and I approve of this message.I tried telling a group of Americans this, and they laughed at me and then I was sad.
Also; Damnit Julian quit quoting Wikipedia. Have you no self respect man?
Because I'm one hell of a butler.
