From medieval football came a whole host of footballs, but rules were only codefied in the 1800s, 1845 for Rugby and 1863 for football aka soccer (at this point in time handling the ball with hands was still allowed to some degree) I believe American football was codefied in 1868 but may have been earlier and was mostly based on rugby. So in fairness since Rugby's full name is 'Rugby football' origins in the town of Rugby there's no real issue with American football being called such

"We only call it racket ball, because it's a game you play with a racket and a ball" - the thing that really seems odd to me here is that we have squash and tennis, both of which are played with a racket and a ball. Calling a game racket ball because that's what you play the game with could refer to either one of them lol

Squash has its origins in the older game of rackets, which was played in London's prisons in the 19th century. Later, around 1830, boys at Harrow School noticed that a punctured ball, which "squashed" on impact with the wall, offered more variety to the game.

For instance, 'Football,' a sport where the ball is hardly kicked, and 'The World Series,' where 29 out of the 30 teams taking part are from the USA (with the other one from Canada).

"Gram" for "graham". "Squirl" for 'squirrel'. "Primyear" for "premier'. "mrrrrr" for mirror. WTF. And 'doody' for duty. And don't get me started on "could care less'.

Tyler love, I think you needed to know a bit more about Michael McIntyre before reviewing this. Don't take it to heart, or seriously. We don't, and he's always taking the proverbial out of us too. We find him hilarious. He's very popular. One Direction appear to be eavesdropping and in a way they are... while awaiting their turn to go on set and talk to Jonathan Ross. I can't think of any other examples of this kind, but the one that truly creases me is USA pronunciation of the work 'buoy'. (One of those floaty things in harbours etc.). For some weird reason you choose to call it a 'boo-ey', while we call it a 'boy'. Which is correct because it comes from the word 'buoyant' and I bet even you lot don't call that' boo-ey-ant'!
@DanDanDoe
Ай бұрын
In Dutch the word is “boei”, kinda pronounced as “boo-ey”. From Medieval Dutch “boeye”, which seems to have influenced the English “buoy”. There’s also theories buoy and buoyancy came from the Spanish “boyar”, which means “to float”. So, basically both pronunciations have a historical etymological arguments. Also Michael McIntyre was easily one of my favourite comedians growing up. His shows and Live at the Apollo were an important part of my English education as a Dutch teenager.

Many pavements are also asphalt and some roads are block paved. In fact pavement refers to anything that is paved which includes blocks, asphalt, concrete and slabs. In civil engineering we refer to footways, cycleways, carriageways and bridleways. Railway track is refered to as permanent way. Also highway and byway. Way comes from the Old English weg, which in turn comes from Old English wegan (“to move”), from Latin vehere, “to carry,” and via, “way.”

2 of my favourite American descriptions are (1) Pedestrian Crossings , while the rest of the world use symbols of the green/red man Americans need the word WALK spelled out to them . (2) This one was first used in America is 4 WHEEL DRIVE , When it was first used people would say , yes 4 wheels is the required amount but it's used everywhere now . And the word PANTS what's that all about ? Pants is short for Pantaloons which are trousers worn in the 19th Century . Pants to the rest of the world is underwear . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

4 wheel drive refers to how many wheels the engine is actually turning used mainly for off road vehicles whereas a lot of domestic vehicles are 2 wheel drive

I was a cruise ship musician mainly based on the eastern seaboard of the US. I came to the conclusion American and British English have different terms for the same things. Here are some examples with the American first: 1. Faucet = Tap 2. Railroad = Railway 3. Stroller = Pram or Pushchair 4. Line/form a line = Queue / join the queue 5. Sidewalk = Pavement 6. Pavement = Road 7. Egg plant / Aubergine 8. Potato Chips / Crisps 9. Candy / Sweets 10. Couch / Sofa 11. Restroom/Bathroom = Toilet/Loo/the Gents/the Ladies 12. Mail / Post 13 Mailman / Postman 14 Pants / Trousers 15 Sneakers / Trainers In Britain, bathrooms have baths in them. Driving terms 1. Turn signal / indicator 2. Yield / Give way 3. Fender / Bumper 4. Windshield / Windscreen 5. Intersection / Junction 6. Hood / Bonnet 7. Trunk / Boot 8. Circle / Roundabout 9. Rotors / Brake Discs

The worst is what you do with food. If you have a unique nickname, ok... fair enough. But America has an OBSESSION with nicknaming foods after other completely different foods. People dont realise how far it goes. You call pizza... pie. You call burgers... sandwiches (i dont care if its meat between bread, a burger is a burger. Mcdonalds doesnt serve sandwiches, beef, chicken and fish burgers.) You call cottage pie (made with beef) shepherds pie... when the clue is in the name... shepherds pie has sheep in it. Lamb or mutton. You call jelly... jell-o (which is a brand name, jelly i.e. gelatin). But you started using it for all jelly. And then swapped the word jelly to mean jam. For no reason. Jam is jam. Whether it has fruit bits or not. You spread jam on toast/sandwiches. Jelly is made in a mold. No such thing as a peanut and jelly sandwich. I bloody well hope not. And worst of all. Calling pasta... ALL PASTA... noodles. Noodles and pasta completely different things. Spaghetti is bad enough, but i could somewhat forgive it. It looks similar. Penne etc... is too far. It doesnt look like noodles its just long. And most importantly. A lasagne sheet... is not a bloody noodle. Hank green nearly killed me when he called a sheet of lasagne... a noodle. Pasta is never the same as noodles. Its not a noodle. Its a piece of pasta. Or pasta piece.

I heard somewhere that they call it 'football' because the ball is 12 inches long. So rather than it being named after an appendage that has little to do with it, it's named after an outdated measuring system. How true this is IDK. Considering a number of sports played with a larger ball used to be called football, Rugby Football, Association Football. Rugby just dropped the redundant 'football', while football was referred to as 'Assoc. football', the 'assoc' part somehow became 'soccer' and dropped the 'football' part, or the 'assoc' part was dropped.

A Parkway refers to a specific type of road that either runs through a park or connects two or more parks together. The term driveway is because in America (especially in rural areas) the houses aren't always right next to the road, they can be 50 meters or 100 meters or 200 meters off the road. So when you turn off the road you have to drive down the driveway before you get to the house.

When us Brits want to go out to eat in a restaurant we don't need to specify that we are eating food. We would say "Shall we have a Chinese tonight?" and everyone knows we aren't referring to the people. We don't need to specify "Lets have Chinese food tonight" An example of the inverse is... football... in every other country in the world in football you kick the ball with your foot, not in America! in America you carry your FOOTball. As a bonus round: there is one thing we both sort of agree on but use different words. The sheet of metal that protects a car's engine. Americans call it the hood, Brits call it a bonnet. Both a hood and a bonnet are also types of headwear. I have many more of these fun little examples of how our two dialects differ. It's actually something myself and an American friend of mine enjoy discussing. There are some things that he agrees we do better and there are some things I agree you do better (numbering on the floors of buildings for example) We really are two nations divided by the same language.
