What do you do with

The levels of stupid in this thread are shocking.

Or not depending on your view of EoFF.

They aren't calling it soccer as a nickname - they believe whole heartedly that the sport is called that. Perhaps believe isn't the right phrase, let me try again.

They refuse whole heartedly to admit that it is called football because they have some deep set mental problems that fear calling it football would invalidate their preferred code or shrink their penis or something.

Oh, well that changes things then. I disagree with people who say it isn't football, but not those who say it is soccer.
If you're cool with this, then all is swell

Oh yeah, definitely. I call rugby league football and the other one soccer, but that's just what I call it for the sake of telling the difference between the two. I'm not going to argue that soccer isn't football, because it is. The governing bodies of soccer are absolutely in the right to use the term 'football'.

I hope I'm out of the idiot books now, Jiro. xD

Just about everyone in Tennessee calls everything 'coke' it's soft drinks you smurfers. Thank god I'm from South Carolina.

I'm from SC too. There's been plenty of times I've heard someone order a "coke", and with out missing a beat the server will ask, "What kind?"

I think calling any sort of soda a coke is just a southern thing. Just like you know you're in the true south if you order a chilli dog, and you literally get chilli in a hotdog bun. Jackasses, where's my hotdog?!?!

try asking for a chili dog in China and you'll be in for a surprise

Patron: I'll take a coke.
Southern Waitress: What kind?
Patron: What?

telephone =/= cellular phone

PC and Microsoft Windows are NOT Interchangeable terms.

[Jessweeee♪]

Jam and jelly are different though. Jam is easy to spread, and jelly clumps together more.

Patron: I'll take a coke.
Southern Waitress: What kind?
Patron: What?

Even worse is the patron that gets pissed when the waitress actually returns with cocacola.

You're sweet Mo, it's coo'.

Jam, not jelly; jelly, not jello. I agree with blackmage_nuke.

Also:
Football, not soccer
Scones, not biscuits
Subway sub, not subway sandwich
Chicken burger, not chicken sandwich
Toilet, not potty
Soft drink, not coke/soda/pop
Motorway, not freeway/highway
Footpath, not sidewalk/pavement
Lounge, not den
Paracetamol, not tylenol/acetominophen
Bonnet, not hood
Boot, not trunk
AuminIum, not aloominum
Nissan, not NEESAHN

it's pedantic, not nit-picky!

[Carl the Llama]

Rantzien! Don't ignore my post

So the message I'm taking away from here is that since American Football is played on foot with a ball its allowed to be called football? by that reasoning the following should be called Football.

Tennis
Golf
Softball
Baseball
Basketball
Rugby
Vollyball
Cricket
Table Tennis
Squash

Thats just off the top of my head, imo American Football should be called American Rugby (or if you live in america then just ordinary rugby).

[blackmage_nuke]

Lounge, not den

I always thought a den was a study

[Bunny]

Tennis
Golf
Softball
Baseball
Basketball
Rugby
Vollyball
Cricket
Table Tennis
Squash

1. Played with a net and a racquet
2. Played with a stick
3. Played with a stick
4. Played with a stick
5. Played with hoops
6. Okay
7. Played with a net
8. Nobody cares about Cricket
9. Played with a table and a net
10. Played with a racquet

American football is called football (when in the US) and American football (when not in the US). "European" football is called football (when not in the US), soccer (when in the US), and fútbol (when in a country that calls it fútbol)

Simple?

Yes.

Can this end now because it's stupid.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Just so the people not from the best country on Earth can shut up for a bit:

A ball is a round, usually spherical but sometimes ovoid, object with various uses

[blackmage_nuke]

5. Played with hoops

By that logic rugby should be called giant metallic H ball

Hball for short
