see, if you call it table football, then you have, like above, the ridiculous phrase “table football table”, which is just dumb, clearly.

Foosball, ftw.

Ok, that second Lorc up there is some kind of spambot.

I do believe that every word that I have never heard of is blasphemy against the very soul of the English language. But then I am very silly.

I’ve known it as foosball since at least 1976. I couldn’t see the table without being held up by my dad, but I did know for certain that it wasn’t called “table football.”

Oh wow – table football on the computer. Hmm – would that make it computer table football, or just computer football?

Foosball you say? Never heard of it. Stop making up words.
Should add great post! Looking forward to reading the next one!

How lovely of you to say so. Allow me to retort: No, it’s definitely called Table Football. I would say “even Wikipaedia says so” but that would be a fairly pointless thing to say, considering etc.

No, foosball is definitely the name. Table football is mundane, must be English I guess.

Apparently in Zimbabwe it’s called Slug.

And really, they cover the tables with perspex? Is that a new thing, or maybe a British thing?

It IS called table football, and it’s one of the greatest games that don’t require computers ever. I would have been far, far more productive at university had there not been a table football table in my halls.

It’s called table football.

That is all.

Feet: It’s a bit mean for someone to own you at foos on your birthday, of all times.
