I'm an evil European. Bergioyn Send a noteboard - 26/10/2012 04:20:57 PM
Which doesn't disqualify it as a ball, since the definition of a ball is a round object, and any definitions that goes on to mention a spherical shape includes an ovoid shape as well.

The more you know... ;)


So it should be called handball then? ;)

Sounds good, NB me when the current game is over. I'll keep an eye out, but I've been meaning to get back to Mafia for awhile, and keep missing the signups.


Will do!

Do us Yanks use too many British terms? imlad - 24/10/2012 03:28:53 AM 911 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 691 Views
I use "bloody" because I've read WoT for years. Dannymac - 24/10/2012 04:41:31 AM 675 Views

Soccer terms and lack of subject-verb agreement are the worst that I notice. Narg - 24/10/2012 05:25:18 AM 777 Views
It' called football. You silly americans and your handegg! *NM* Bergioyn - 24/10/2012 07:32:47 AM 354 Views
There is no disputing that our use of the word football is total nonsense *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 07:48:46 AM 317 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 740 Views
Using a non-Metric system of measurement is total nonsense. Bergioyn - 25/10/2012 07:51:27 PM 650 Views
How can you say that?! Gher - 25/10/2012 08:40:20 PM 716 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 276 Views
Regulation balls are shorter than that, and "gridiron" is an unambiguous international term. Joel - 26/10/2012 11:41:18 PM 636 Views

Bad example. Sheep is both a singular and plural noun. *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 02:47:34 PM 272 Views
That may be the problem. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:00:49 AM 650 Views

You all need to include some Irish-isms into your daily speech. Stephen - 24/10/2012 08:26:30 AM 727 Views

Affectation almost inherently reflects trying too hard, and imitation is unoriginal. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:10:52 AM 659 Views
