Two things:
  1. The formal title is Association Football; and,
  2. You forgot the ownership apostrophe - "soccer's formal title".

So take the formal title.
Association = Descriptive
Football = Generic.

Shorten it to...ASSOCiA or socca.
Its stupid to use the generic term to describe it, and it comes across as arrogant. ie oh my Fairyball is the only real football so i'll just call it Football.

Its like suggesting that your commodore v8, should be just called a Car. because everyone knows its the only real car.

I hope i'm grinding your gears because you soccer fairyball snobs grind mine.
 
I watched Man U play fairyball on Sunday morning and the diving really grinds my gears. Mrs Dub just kept telling me that's how it was. ****ing soft. I got concussed and played out a game, got drunk and won our club trivia that night. Unless you're being stretchered off you keep playing.

Meh. My gears are fine. It's Association Football season, not Australian Rules Football season. I'm quite comfortable referring to both as football and, given we were talking about the W-League at the time, my original statement was very clear.

Soccer snobs grind my gears too.

Very impressed with your user name and avatar. I just saw today there is a poster named spinynorman ! [Hi spinynorman, impressed with yours too obviously :) ]
 
Guys that undo their belt to take a piss. Why the **** do you do this? Zips were invested for a reason. Is it a childhood habit you never grew out of or is there another reason.

Difficulty finding the equipment?

ummmmmmm I'm going to say a Worn out Clutch.... Over time a vehicle's clutch can wear out causing a grinding noise when changing gears. Am I missing something

People wearing backpacks in crowded settings. Take the bloody things off and hold them. The campaigners can never sense where their backpacks are and they hit other people as they turn around. I saw one such wearer apologise three times in a brief period, yet they kept wearing the backpack and kept bumping people.

I caught a brief 30 sec snippet of the Sunrise show before heading out the other day. There was a small panel of vacuous generic models in the broadcast “tent” at wherever the nag races were that day.

The unmitigated bile that passed for conversation like ****en “that’s Hansel, he’s so hot right now” set me up in a homicidal mode for the rest of the day
 
Buskers in the Bourke Street Mall. For me it used to be nice and pleasant walking through there taking in some views, or even enjoying 10 minutes out of your day on a seat watching the world go by. Now we're forced to hear 4th rate circus acts ply their trade whether we like it or not. **** you buskers.

I recommend this.

 
So i have to slow down to 40, 24 hours a day .... its "SAFETY" for the guys who work there maybe 7 hours on a good day.

If its for safety why do they put their portaloo 2m from the edge of the road. HELLO. I hope you get upended in the middle of taking a dump.

Isn't it because the road has been narrowed? I don't know, I'm not a hi vis cretin.

Have you seen that ****en drone on the Princes bridge who is all silver in a space suit doing super loud digital beats? **** me I want to shank that campaigner
 
I get shitted off at idiots trying to find hi tech solutions to moronic truck drivers taking out their bridge in south Melbourne.
You put 2 steel posts in the ground and a girder across an inch lower than the bridge.
Then when they hit it you kick them in the ass a lot and don't let them drive trucks again.

Any listeners like to tell us where Montague st bridge is?

Also any one like to tell me the difference between Nathan broads crime and what news Corp is doing here?

Conservative voters that have no money. Why chop off your own dick so bossman can hang it on a wall.
 
I hate how far recycling has gone. Our council recently sent out a notice that contaminated packaging won't be accepted - meaning stuff with food still on it. So now my wife makes us dishwasher all plastics before we throw them out. Why.

The waste of water and electricity seems to out way the clean rubbish for me.
