    The season after summer is called "Thank you earth for finally starting to get colder so I can go outside without dying"

    The season after winter is called "smurf you climate change, I want more snow!"

    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I thought it was an American thing and seeing as most members are of that persuasion...
    Probably a Canadian thing too. We (at least around here) call it fall too. Though it would probably be more apt to refer to winter as fall what with all the ice. Being able to go the entire winter without falling is a valuable skill. Especially since winter is really about six months long minimum.

    I call Autumn Autumn and Football Football.

    But if I'm posting around a lot of Americans, I do often use Fall and Soccer just to avoid the inevitable confusion / extra line of clarification...

    I almost always call it fall, but Autumn is perfectly fine.


    Either way, since I live in the south, the concept is conjecture. I'm convinced all seasons are simply different degrees of summer.

    That way nobody ever has to be confused, because they know exactly what I'm talking about.

    Beside the fact that it is imprecise. Coming this x month is way more specific.

    I don't believe I have ever used the term "fall".
