If I’m talking to an English speaker from outside of the US, is there any confusion if I say “soccer”?
For example, when I was in college a friend asked for a “torch”. I was confused for quite some time, because I didn’t know it was another word for “flashlight”. Does the same thing happen with the word “soccer”? Should I clarify by saying, “…or football”?
Thank you!
America isn’t a British colony, we won a whole war about that.
Isn’t now, but it was a colony, and that’s more than enough for us to shit on it
There’s a Brexit joke in here somewhere, but I’m not clever enough to find it
To be fair, neither are most of the people who voted for Brexit
boom there it is!
