    Really? Why it's right here!

    So.. I'm now a space lesbian android who spent most of her time internet surfing (or what was left of the internet at the time) and fantasizing about hot, gothic gynoids with the best butts ever conceived by mankind.

    ...

    [​IMG]

    I wonder if being an android makes my internet surfing more... efficient.

    Excuse me while I go do some... testing... FOR SCIENCE!!!

    ....Welp, there goes that forest....and maybe Texas...hey, bear souls are OP man.

    To be honest, I would just go off into outer space and enjoy being an immortal, shapeshifting shadow demon.

    If not, I would become a bodyguard for celebrities.

    EDIT:

    Hmm, now I am thinking about writing a quest for this.

    Oh God. I hope it's not someone who calls it a football. I'd hate to have that instinct.

    Sleep. The character of the avatar spends 90% of her time sleeping, the other 10% is punching and shouting like a berserk degenerate.

    Lack of specificity.

    "A Football" is a term that applies to a ball from literally any game that's played on a field using a ball, dating back centuries.

    You might as well be saying "a boardgame piece". It's absolutely true, but doesn't really tell me much. It could be checkers or chess or monopoly or whatever.

    And so it is with all the types of footballs out there. Ranging from rugby to soccer to gridiron to basketball to all sorts of other games, most of which no longer exist.

    Better just to use the specific name of the specific game in question. Less annoying that way.

    Which one?

    The fact that I can get different answers from different people proves it's not specific.

    That sounds like an americanism ... the official name is association football. Outside of America and Canada who call it soccer ... most of the rest of the world refers to it as just football.

    I'm just wondering why she sees it as a bad thing to call it that.

    I don't know how something that originated in the medieval world can be an Americanism.

    Soccer is a 1900s word not medieval. Nor was thought up in America.

    But it's part of American and Canadian linguistic culture so calling it Americanism or the Canadian equivalent is valid.

    Anyways ... you're turning an innocent curious question into a history lesson. I just wondered why she saw it as something to be bothered by.

    Though I probably shouldn't have bothered with all the online arguments over it at the end of the last FIFA (International Federation of Associate Football) world cup.

    Yeah, but they probably didn't want me dropping the secret on some porny message board.

    Right, it's not. But neither is monopoly. The words 'boardgame' and 'football', however, both date back to the medieval.

    You are absolutely correct.

    And that's why they named this specific version Association Football. Which some people now refer to as soccer and others as football.

    Well, that's fair enough... so long as you always remember to include the word "Association" in reference to "Association Football" (which you did not in your prior posts), and never truncate it to just "Football", then we're golden.

    But that's the beauty of it, no one will care because because by posting it here you have decreased its legitimacy. ;)

    Well, sure, but if I don't pretend like it's a major mistake, then I can't convince people that I'm actually insane, thus decreasing legitimacy even further.

    Much like Feudalism, football is a total non-term. In terms of specificity and being actually usable.

    I looked up the pic sauce, by the way. Turns out it's a Bong. Ah well. At least they're not French.

    I think you might be missing the point. Assuming you've realised by now that I'm neither American or Canadian.... let me explain ... because there seems to be some culture differences.

    Where I'm from we simply call it football. It's only ever called soccer when someone from america or Canada thinks its American football and theres a need to tell them no ... this here is what you guys call soccer over there.

    Assuming the rest of the majority of the world who simply called it football are similar to this I can safely assume that at least half the population of the world ... being extremrly generous here ... simply call it football.

    Now I'm not arguing history here and I agree that just about everything you've said on that front is 100% correct. However most of the games referred to as football back then are no longer around. The ones that are ... have all been classed with official names and standardized and whatnot.

    Aside from rugby and American football which I cant say with any kind of authority are the same as I dont watch follow or have researched either (though I've played rugby before) theres no other that i know of is referred to as plain football anymore. I could simply be ignorant as I havent actually researched that but I've just never come across it.

    So it's not really a matter of history or classification for me. It's simply fact that at least half the world recognizes this game as simply football. Theres nothing to argue about there.

    Most of the people I talk about or watch games with have either started out calling it football before moving away or have spent enough time in countries that call it football. Either way ... the terms are simply interchangeable to them depending on their company. In my experience everyone who has spent any amount of time living outside their home country and is exposed to the sport ends up like this.

    I too am the same. I honestly dont really care what it's called as long as everyone speaking understands what the conversation is about. What I am curious about is why someone finds it cringeworthy to call it a name that half of the world does.
