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 donal fennessy mug.Dishonest, deceitful, devious, destructive, and delusional. Someone who has a way over-inflated opinion of themselves for no reason, has no noteworthy accomplishments. A person who pretends to have integrity and good character but has none. A person who dominates and monopolizes every conversation and within seconds turns the conversation to themselves to brag about things they have done or seen or will do, things that are not notable in any way. Someone who thinks they are smarter than others but they aren't smart enough realize others ridicule them for their ignorant and oh-so-self-important behavior. Someone who pats themselves on the back endlessly.
Man, why did you post that stupid shit in your sports club egroup? Do you enjoy being laughed at and ridiculed? Way to be fennigantatious, bro.

Get the Finnish mug.The finnish line marks the point at which all the alcohol in a household has been drunk and everyone is smashed. "Crossing the finnish line" refers to the act of drinking all that's left in a house through mass partying and drinking games.
The people of Finland (the finnish) are known for being able to hold their liquor and for their mad partying skills. The finnish set the bar high when it comes to hardcore drinking, so reaching the finnish line is truly a badge of honor, particularly if it happens as a result of winning many games of beirut or beer pong in a row.

"After winning seven games of 10-cup beirut in a row, the finnish line was in sight for Mark and Janet. When they won their final game and all the beer was gone, they stepped across the finnish line and had the best drunk sex ever."
"Guy #1: How was the party at Stubby's last night?
Guy #2: Dude, it was amazing, we hit the finnish line.
Guy #1: Woah, how much did you start with?
Guy #2: Let's just say that hockey players from Helsinki would have been jealous.
Guy #1: That's fucked up."

Get the Finnish Line mug.Feenish sits half a mile south of the village of Ardmore in Irish-speaking south Connemara, Galway. It is a low-lying island of meadows and sandy beaches with a long scattering of ruined houses which run along the north and western coasts. Many of these are slowly filling with sand which blows in on the westerly winds and is trapped within the crumbling stone walls.
