What is your favourite English words/terminology that American's missuse to pretend they are superior to English? Mine is; First Floor - which is American for Second Floor. (go figure) |

I'm not big on sports (other than the Women's World Cup and the WNBA), but for me it's gotta be "football". Unlike the American version, the game is actually played with a ball, and feet. Crazy, I know. And "soccer" just makes me think of domestic violence against women |

Unfortunately soccer is an english word, described as football for Amercians so you haven't won a Brand New Datsun. * ushers Cynthia to bring out a 89 Nissan Datsun by towrope by tractor * Unfortunately this is what you could have won. And this is what it looks like on fire because you lost. |

soccer is actually pretty shit to watch. the field is too big. no one ever scores. hockey is only slightly better -- still no scoring ever; instead people push each other over and fight with co^H^Hsticks |

basketball is the only major sport i find tolerable. rapid scoring, regular acrobatics, smallish playfield. regulations allow certain clods to go wild with hair and shoes and whatever; this adds to the flair. really, though, darts was what caught me by surprise. i walked in the door, and a roommate had darts on. at first, i thought, "oh, what shit." ten minutes later, i realized i was still standing in the doorway. i had not even taken off my shoes. professional darts is owsum for so many reasons. first and foremost: the faces the guys make when they're about to throw. it's like music. hilarious music. aside from that, darts is very streak-y. a guy will be killing it and then the other guy will be killing it instead of tit-for-tat methodical plays being the norm, as are with most TV sports. then, of course, the whole "studio audience" is sauced and wearing costumes and 2/3 of the cameras are covering the audience, because you really only need a fixed camera or four to cover the actual game |
