Thats the same face I make when you call them “crossing guards” instead of “lollipop ladies”
Fake British word is probably my all time least favourite genre of meme
Which one is fake?
Pretty sure there is more than one foot involved. Therefore it should be called feetball.
‘Soccer’ is the British word for the sport already. Don’t let them pretend
Dude in the thumbnail must be a super messy eater.
Mofo ain’t got no lips!
Bad candidate for most British “food”.
Americans when you call it “rugby for girls” and not “runny jumpy catch between adverts”:
Womens rugby is infinitely better than American Football
Search “brutal NFL hits” on YouTube and tell me again why you think a bunch of dudes on their knees hugging and playing reverse tug-of-war is manly
Check the community, Chuckles!
Besides, I’m a Bears fan, so I’ve seen plenty of footage of Dick Butkus’ hits.
You know, years ago I saw a bit on a UK NFL show where they had a couple of rugby players and a couple of NFL players try each others’ sports.
The NFL players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. They’re big guys and they hit hard, and they don’t wear any padding. No thanks!”
The rugby players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. You’ve got the pads, sure, but that just means everyone hits each other harder! No thanks!”
Can we just call it all football!?
- Ruggers Football
- Assoccers Football
- Gridders Football
- Basketters Netball
- Softy Rounders Ball
- Crickers Baseman’s Ball
And let’s have mixed teams

Nah
Got the British teeth right
Ok I know this is irrelevant but this is Baraka from Mortal Kombat and with that mouth nobody can spell a word out of their mouth but surprisingly he does 🤣
The British invented the term soccer. If they give you shit about using it, tell them they can fuck right off.
Get em
British toffs invented the term soccer.
Yeah, it’s like saying we should call rugby “rugger”, because that’s what the old Etonians called it (I don’t know if they still do).
Its Oxford University slang derived from Rugby School slang, rather than Etonian. However, many do still refer to the morning meal as “brekkers” and nakedness as “starkers”, regardless of class.
What is futsol?
?
Most of the world calls it football because feet and ball. American football is usually referred to as commercials or ads.
Etymology-wise, football is actually called football because it’s done on foot as opposed to on horse.
Ah so that’s why its Polo and not “horse polo”
It’s named after the shirt.
Oh that makes sense! Polo shirts have that little horse guy on them sometimes.
What. Horseball was taken?
Yep, check Pornhub for proof
It seems so stupid to me that Americans took over the name football for a sport thats not even mainly played by foot, and then pretend like thats the sport that naturally belongs to the name. Like wtf.
This is why the fuck: american football evolved from Association Football (soccer) and rugby. Americans didn’t take over the name, the names for each version of the “ball game on a field with goals at either end” developed from different regional slang as each sport evolved and grew into popularity in their respective places. Each of those sports developed various shortened or slang versions of their name. Rugby was really Rugby football. Association football became soccer, a term coined in London and adopted by Americans. Gridiron football evolved from both and become what Americans just called football.

Most of the world calls it

Surely you meant to say jalgpall

Soccer = aSSOCiation Football. It’s a British term.
One of my all time favorite memes
Reference to it with proximity to yanks :
You are the only non yank there : Soccer
There are 60% yanks : Association football
There are 30% or less yanks : football
There are 0% yanks, and 100% Brits that actually like this boring sport : Footy
