A hybrid sport combining Football (Soccer) and Tennis. An oversized Tennis ball is used and the sport is played on a Tennis court. Instead of rackets, players use their feet/head/chest to send the ball back and forth over the net, but not hands.
A minimum of 4 players are required (2vs2) but can go up to 8 (4vs4). Play begins with one team serving the ball diagonally over the net to land in the opposite service box as in Tennis. 2vs2 matches are played ‘half court’. Anything else is full court and the ball does not need to land in the service box as with 2vs2.
Players are allowed 2 touches of the ball each and 1 bounce of the ball. It is legal for players to catch a ball 'on the volley' in order to allow the bounce later. This is usually to allow lining up a better or more powerful shot over the net.
In 2vs2, both players must touch the ball at least once before sending it back over the net. In 3vs3, a minimum of 2 players must touch the ball at least once but if all 3 players manage to touch it before sending it back over, this is a "Double Point Chance". If the opposing team 'fumble' and are unable to successfully return the ball at this time, the former team wins 2 points instead of 1. In 4vs4, a minimum of 3 players must touch the ball and the "Double Point" rule applies if all 4 players manage to touch the ball.
Points are scored when a team is unable to return the ball to their opponents. Teams must reach 11 points with a 2-point lead in order to win the match.

Get the fenion mug.by lizzi May 19, 2005
Get the fenis mug.1. Originally American Branch of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the term came to be associated with the entire movement. Founded in the 1850s, the aim of the organisation was the establishment of an Irish Republic independent of British rule. They led a failed rebellion in Ireland in 1867, and were also known for carrying out raids on British interests in Canada.
2. The term has become associated with support for the Irish republican movement, in latter times with support for the provisional IRA in Northern Ireland.
3.Also used by ignorant Northern Ireland protestants/ Unionists (judging by other posts here with no idea of its origin) as derogatory term for Irish Catholics/ Nationalists.

1. The Fenian-led rebellion of 1867 was a tragic failure.
2. My Brother James is an out-and-out Fenian, he won't rest until the Brits leave Ireland for good
3. Fenian Bastards, who do they think they are, trying to get treated as equals to us northern prods (protestants)

Get the feening mug.A femnist is a person who whines (usually misinterpreted as "fights") for rights already recieved. These horrific abominations are commonly females and are possibly the most annoying pieces of poo-poo you'll ever encounter.
