A term referring to several different team sports around the world. Most games known as "football" actually involve the use of the hands more frequently than the feet, such as American Football, Canadian Football, Gaelic Football, and Australian Rules Football.
The term also refers to Association Football, a game in which players primarily use their feet (although they also make extensive use of the head, chest, and knees while goalkeepers are also permitted to use their hands). Most of the English-speaking world (the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland to an extent, etc.) refers to this game as "soccer" to differentiate it from their indigenous football games, although ethnocentric and culturally insular English people insist that "football" is the only acceptable term for the sport.

Although most English-speaking people from different cultures who live on multiple continents know "football" as a game that involves picking a ball up and running with it, English people themselves know that nothing short of literal translation will do when naming sports. If it's called "football", then it should be a sport where only feet are used. Except for the countless times in soccer games when the players use their heads, chests, knees, shoulders, and sometimes even their hands, of course.

All you Rugby guys are crazy. Put an NFL running back on the rugby field and he will score every time he touches the ball. When you compare the 2 athletically, football players are bigger, stronger, can jump higher, can run faster, and can catch better. They wear pads cause they hit 10 times as hard.
The Rugby player was angry to learn a football player had been fucking his wife, but could do nothing about it because he would get his ass kicked.

Get the american football mug.Footballing is a sexual activity. It involves the male putting his foot (or feet) into his partner's pussy or shit chute. The female may put her foot in the male's shit chute. With a lot of lubricant, an experienced "footser" can insert his or her foot into a body cavity well above the ankle.
Let's do some footballing.

Get the football butt mug.A seasonal sport played on an oversized lawn by over grown men wearing form fitting uniforms, that leave nothing to the imagination. The basic point of the game is to capture the remainders of a dehydrated pig and carry it which has been shaped in the form of an egg (which makes me think the game originated around the famous breakfast of Bacon and eggs), and avoid the group hugs the opposing team is trying to include you in, to your side of the lawn. There you wiggle your butt, jump up and down and listen to the audience yell at you to shake your moneymaker again.
