Thread Name: BS: Use of the word 'football'
Subject: RE: BS: Use of the word 'football'
In Canuck Football we got bigger balls. Isn't that enough to say? ;-)

Gnu, where I grew up "shinny" was played on skates on a frozen pond or harbour, street hockey with a ball on the street, ball hockey on a very nice flat field not far from the house, or at the abandoned candy factory. We also played ball hockey in the student center gym at Memorial University.


Everyone, especially the Brits,

No point pissing and moaning about trying to make a word common usage in another country. Now excuse me I need to go to the loo, I mean bathroom or restroom but not to take a bath or rest.
