Also wasn't Cars 2 rated G? The bad cars brutally murder other cars in that movie. That shit was fucked up.

*football (you know, the game you play with your foot and a ball)

Could you be more specific? Do you mean rugby football? Gridiron football? Gaelic football?

Oh! Maybe you meant association football. But that's kind of long-- maybe we can just say "asoc football" to save time.

Actually now that I think of it, people just say "rugby" instead of "rugby football," so maybe we can drop the "football" part as well, and just say "asoc."

There we go, now we have a nice, unambiguous way to refer to the style of football that we're interested in. Now I just hope the school children don't mess it up the way they did with rugby, calling it "rugger..."

Obviously you know I was referring to association football. I’m aware of the etymology of soccer and ruggers, but thank you for your insightful comment. It genuinely was a nice read. While etymology is interesting. It doesn’t dictate the current usage of language.

On the topic, I used to play Aussie Rules (Australian Football).

It’s pretty annoying when some rando on the internet pretends not to understand what you were referring to, isn’t it?
