Heh, fun fact: the British coined the term soccer instead of football, and then changed it when the Americans began using the term because “ew Americans are uncultured, they can’t also call it soccer.”

LMAAAO sometimes British people are so iconic

I'm brazillian so the term Soccer feels weird cause I am used to "Futebol (football)" lol

You can’t be fucking serious while using laughing my ass of which is aave.

Wtf is aave??

Bros fishin for an argument lol

Lol It was a genuine question
I had to google it and I got confused when the only thing that showed up was some financial term

And I was like "wtf crypto currency terms has to do with LMAO?"

And then I had to change the google location in the search bar to USA cause I presume it that idiot was american and I saw what they mean lmao
Apparently I cannot use any internet slang cause I am not black american (??)

No you dumb bitch you’re just a hypocrite. I can tell your media is full of Americans, yet act like you hate Americans it’s weird. Cry about it but most of the world uses American English.

LMAAAO
You are so pathetic for get triggered by a stranger on the internet not liking the term soccer cause they are used to the term football seriously, it will sound cliche but pls go touch some grass

Or go cry to your pedo president or something you f weirdo (⌒▽⌒)

Alem de ser burro, você ainda é egocêntrico
Por favor, recolhe a sua insignificância e não tente falar mais comigo porque eu vou ti ignorar

Why are you so triggered lol, this person just said it’s weird for football (we also call it fútbol in my country) to be called soccer, because we know it as football, it’s no big deal, and yes it IS weird to call it soccer, no one really calls it that except Americans and maybe a few more people , so OBVIOUSLY for people like us who know it as football, is gonna be weird to hear the word “soccer” for it. And yes we use your language to communicate because it’s a universal language, yet I can still criticize your country, anyone can, even Americans, not just because you “speak English” makes you incapable of growing a brain to criticize the country, I speak Spanish and I criticize Spain, I can also speak Japanese and I can also criticize Japan, it’s not a big deal?

If we must ply this game too, the reason why we call it soccer (is due to the British) but it never got changed because we also have “football” or American rugby, which stole football as a name, making it so we couldn’t call it football. Football was also a term used for basically any sport played “on foot” rather than horseback. The more you know

It being “soccer.” Or yknow, football

Don't waste your time with that idiot. I blocked them a long time ago. I really didn't want to waste my time with a f idiot who came to my replys on a f manga pirate website crying like a angry toddler because some stranger on the internet don't like a word

Hmm interesting mangago didn't sent my full reply I guess lol

~mangago, send this full thing pls~

I don't know why they got so triggered about it
Like you said, the majority of us who watch or know football calls it FOOTBALL, especially because in our mother tongue the name for the sport sounds similar to FOOTBALL (for me, FUTEBOL and for you FÚTBOL) and calling the sport SOCCER sounds weird

I don't know if it is a nationality issue that makes a individual to be so obnoxious and rude like that because someone don't use a term that usually only they use it, especially in international online circles

[Btw what the americans call football we brazillians call 'American Football' (rugby it is not a thing here tho)
And I only call it the British iconic cause they pettiness reaction of not liking something that americans use is something expected to happen cause you know... former colonizers usually don't like to be associated with their former colony
(The same thing happens with Brazil and Portugal but the British takes this pettiness to a whole nother level which makes the situation funny lol)]

Ur so real for that bro was arguing about not liking a word under a YAOI manga in a pirate website LMFAOO

For us, it’s the same. In France, the term “soccer” is basically never used (like, never ever ever ahah) it’s always “football.” So I automatically translate it to “football” in my head when I read the webtoon haha.

it’s not weird lol everywhere has different terms for different things, if you’re old enough to be on this site then this information shouldn’t be new, surprising, or even weird to you.

you’ll be okay, i promise pookie

When bro can’t fathom people live in different countries.. it’s okay though pookie, we’re all learning, no matter what age ..and yes, the Australians put tar on their bread, it’s okay.

Their comment is pointing out that people in different countries use different terms so your sarcastic comment doesn't make any sense mate. Also us aussies do not put tar on bread the f*ck you on about?

Oh sorry I’ll break it down, they’re criticizing someone because this person finds it strange that people use certain terms in different countries (particularly for multi-country things like sports!) because they’re used to a certain term in their own country. But ironically this minimally thought out critique forgets that.. people naturally find it weird when they hear a different term for something because it’s NOT what they’re used to, it’s an incredibly normal response, and they also failed to realize that in all their wisdom not everyone is as …let’s say well traveled on the internet, and may not know as many things as other people regardless of age. Maybe this is their only pass time, or they just don’t seek out international media so it’s jarring when they see it because they’re used to something else.


As for my Australian tar comment, ‘‘twas simply a joke, since most people who don’t have marmite in their county find marmite incredibly bizarre, and to me it kind looks like tar.. I didn’t realize that I needed to explain something so ..simple? You all really do take everything too seriously smh..

We don't eat marmite in Australia you dunce. Marmite is British. If you're gonna make shitty jokes about our food at least be accurate with it mate. Also your comment is still redundant as you are still making the exact same point as the person you rudely responded to. But here you are acting all high and mighty over explaining a simple comment that we all understood the first time.

Oh no this is a real love triangle (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
