Icon Sez It All

sunshine_shaman: Stupid word confusion. Why did we decide to call American football “football,” anyway? It just winds up confounding the World Cup.

ME: Because calling it “Homoerotic Man-Pile” just doesn’t sound quite like what they’re going for.

MOM: And we wonder how come your dad gets depressed when your brother isn’t home.

FAMILY: Blah blah blah comments about Shakespeare blah blah.

AMELIA: I just realized something! Shakespeare would mess with grammar and make up words with wild abandon, right? He was the Elizabethan version of Strong Bad!

My only argument against calling it that would have to be that if someone told me that they were taking me to watch "Homoerotic Man-Pile" and they were taking me to watch football, I'd probably be somewhat let down.

Haha! I second your comment.

True, but it does add an extremely entertaining subtext to the sport.
