OB Online's debatforum

Linkert:

I was just wandering through the 'OB -Getafe' topic and regularly saw the word 'slet'. What does it mean?
In Belgium it means as much as 'slut' :D

It means "delete". Usually it's written by somebody who edits something they wrote earlier, since you cannot delete your post, only its content.

Well, the same for you and OB :-)

The last game in Jupiler League was played in the end of december. When do you begin playing again? March, like DK?

Oh, that soon. I wish we began playing earlier. Three months (almost) of winter without football is hard to endure.

We will play quite a few training matches though, so we'll have to make do with those for now. Good luck on the 21.

Thank you. How comes there's no soccer there that long? Snow?

Yes, the cold is a factor. And we also only play 33 games in a season, and most of those (19 this season) is played in the fall.

I know it's become synonymous with stupid americans talking about football, but "soccer" is actually an old english word from the days where rugby was still part of the football world. It's short for "association football", which was the kind of football we follow today, as opposed to rugby football, and later american football. It's not an american invention, it was invented at Oxford university as a slang word, to distinguish between "rugger" (rugby) and "footer" or "soccer" for football.

"Football" can actually mean rugby, association football, american football, gaelic football, australian rules football, and almost any other game involving kicking a ball. "Soccer" is a term of specification, ensuring that the one you speak with knows exactly what kind of football you are talking about. It's only in Europe that "our" kind of football is so big that we instantly knows that someone is talking about association football, when they say football.

That concludes todays language lesson

Well, I don't really look what word I use, one time it's soccer, another time it's football. Although, as a Football Manager-addict, I should say Football :-)
