Using a non-Metric system of measurement is total nonsense. Bergioyn Send a noteboard - 25/10/2012 07:51:27 PM
It doesn't actually have anything to do with body parts, but with the length of the ball-like object.


(And yes, the obvious reply at this point is to point out that using a non-Metric system of measurement is total nonsense. :P)

Moreover, the ball-like object is more egg shaped. :P

Also, on completely unrelated note, you should come play with us again next game, beets running the current one.

Do us Yanks use too many British terms? imlad - 24/10/2012 03:28:53 AM 834 Views
I use very few of those terms and thankfully, I'm not a "Yank" or "Yankee" Larry - 24/10/2012 03:46:40 AM 626 Views

Soccer terms and lack of subject-verb agreement are the worst that I notice. Narg - 24/10/2012 05:25:18 AM 694 Views
It' called football. You silly americans and your handegg! *NM* Bergioyn - 24/10/2012 07:32:47 AM 326 Views
There is no disputing that our use of the word football is total nonsense *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 07:48:46 AM 290 Views
I may be wrong, but I believe it's called a football because it's 12-inches long. Gher - 25/10/2012 07:15:28 PM 659 Views

I'm an evil European. Bergioyn - 26/10/2012 04:20:57 PM 648 Views
I don't think so. Has to do with its historical origins in rugby football. *NM* Legolas - 25/10/2012 09:17:20 PM 251 Views
Regulation balls are shorter than that, and "gridiron" is an unambiguous international term. Joel - 26/10/2012 11:41:18 PM 568 Views

Bad example. Sheep is both a singular and plural noun. *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 02:47:34 PM 249 Views

Affectation almost inherently reflects trying too hard, and imitation is unoriginal. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:10:52 AM 587 Views
