Background - A sport played widely in Europe and Asia since the late 18th/early 19th century. More dominantly played by females in America, it is a sport played by both men and women. As the years passed, the equipment for this sport has evolved greatly. Known simply as 'hockey' in countries other than America, field hockey is often denounced as a 'girly sport', a predominanly lesbian sport, or as not really hockey. However, none of this is true. It is an olympic sport, and is among the top 5 most played sports in the world.
The Game - The game consists of two teams of 11 (including a goalie), trying to get the ball into the opposite goalcage. There are two 35-minute halves in collegiate and international play, and two 30-minute halves in varsity high school play. Field hockey is known to have alot of fouls, but most are called just to keep the game safe. Many different types of hits are allowed, such as drives, pushes, flicks, scoops, drags, chokes, slaps, and chips.
Equipment - The sticks are flat on one side, which is the only side you may hit the small, hard, plastic ball with. The stick may be composed of wood or of composite material, usually a combination of glassfibre, carbon, and aramide.

Get the Field Trip mug.A park in West Roxbury that teens go to, they drink beer and act gangsta. These kids were brought up really well but are so sorry about themselves that they have to try to make their lives exciting by acting tough. These scums will yell at old ladies or start fights with random dudes, pretty much go as low as possible just to feel crook. They attempt to talk all hood and everybody gets second hand embarrassment while hearing it considering they grew up in such great conditions, it's a weird type of identity problem. The "Westie" boys hang out on the benches or on top of the walls next to the basketball court getting crunk thinking they're complete bad asses. There's a YMCA right by and they must've completely missed it because most of these impostors are twigs.
Matt: what a great game of ball, I don't think I missed a shot in that last game

Get the Shit Fiend mug.One of Abercrombie's signature scent for guys. Apparently is smells like:
'FIERCE's scent is an immediate attention getter and rightly so. Its fresh citrus aroma is the first aspect she'll notice because of its clean, poised attitude. However, it's FIERCE's warm musky subtleness that will naturally draw her curiosity because of its seductive nature.'
Usually used by aberzombies, some people like it, but others hate it. (like parents)
