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."
