barsism 

The act of "diving" (falling down on the pitch pretending being fouled), cheating and influencing the referees to gain advantage in a football match. The name comes from the way of play of FC Barcelona who popularized this behaviour in football when winning a couple of titles thanks to tricking referees.

- "Oh come on, look at them! They're falling down and grabbing their faces in agony when the opposite players barely get close to them!"
- "Yeah, they're on their barsism again."
