This article is interesting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22633980

if you call it an away game and a home game then it is not implicit that the two games are related and you are stupid. also chicat is very clever to call it "gam" DOUBLE ENTENDRE KIND OF!

color me surprised that "on frame" is an American term

Belvis Noland · « **Reply #4880 on:** October 28, 2013, 01:49:43 PM »

never heard on frame. stat line is shot-on-goal. i've heard on-goal.

That article has been posted somewhere before. I think it's bull crap, fwiw.

Since when is "in the six" the American replacement for "in the six yard box?"

Also, "game" is NOT a replacement for "leg." We're talking a two-leg context where there's an aggregate score. "Game" isn't specific enough.

how about "game one" and "game two." it seems to work in every other american playoff without confusion. NBA, MLB, NHL, etc.

Like, for instance, tonight is "game five" of the World Series. Or, in other words, the fifth of a potentially seven-game series involving the AL and NL champions in American Baseball.

nobody says that you dumbfuck. right now boston is in between their two 2-game home legs, playing the third game of the 2nd leg (1st and only away leg). its very simple!

Belvis Noland · « **Reply #4887 on:** October 28, 2013, 03:04:37 PM »

PS, would it be improper for a pro basketball team in the UK to refer to the uniforms/shoes as kits/boots? or is the american terminology the "proper" bball terminology?

good points, here. The Cardinals really need Wainwright to to deliver in this 3rd game of the 2nd leg. That stadium of wankers would go absolutely manic if Wainwright pitched a nil-hitter.

He's right Scott. We're not allowed to talk about soccer since we don't live in the UK.

Yet you hate how Americans call "football" "soccer." You're not making sense. Whatever. This argument is over and Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
