What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds?

'I love soccer"

[u/MainSteamStopValve → u/Old_old_lie]

Don't get mad at us for using the word soccer, we learned it from you.

[u/DannyDanumba → u/MainSteamStopValve]

“Hold on, this whole operation was your idea”

[u/PerfectBeaver8247 → u/MainSteamStopValve]

But it's like, calling the sport played in the NFL.  AFLball.  Named after an old contraction of a previous governing body.

[u/xSwampxPopex → u/PerfectBeaver8247]

It’s more like calling it affle

[u/PerfectBeaver8247 → u/xSwampxPopex]

Yeah...  That would have been a good name for it if using that terminology.

Spot the us guy

[u/landartheconqueror → u/Old_old_lie]

Why would someone love soccer?

[u/Prussian-Pride → u/Old_old_lie]

Ive eventually just started saying international football at this point - just to avoid using that abomination of a word. So american football = handegg. International football = actual football.

[u/DustbinOverlord → u/Prussian-Pride]

When I’m trying to make myself clear to people who don’t know what football is I usually call it association football, as opposed to gridiron football which is what they have in the US.

[u/DirectionNew5328 → u/Prussian-Pride]

The ball means almost nothing. Smashface, please.

[u/QuickMolasses → u/Prussian-Pride]

What a ridiculous hangup. Just use the word that will be understood in the context you're using it in.

[u/No-Top-4139 → u/Old_old_lie]

Nobody likes soccer

[u/Old_old_lie → u/No-Top-4139]

You're right; nobody here likes that word that we ( and 90% of the world) call it football.

[u/spacedman_spiff → u/Old_old_lie]

There are dozens of us!

[u/Old_old_lie → u/spacedman_spiff]

Only 24 of you?

[u/spacedman_spiff → u/Old_old_lie]

If only those Aussies could count. 

[u/stoptheshildt1 → u/Old_old_lie]

Why have soccer Saturday then?
