    These people are desperate for attention it would seem.
    I am finding it far easier to laugh AT them as sad as the world they live in is.

    Well......being from USC, grass is a strong point. As far as the goals, aren't there also buoys on the field too?

    Have fun - Pitch (sports field) - Wikipedia

    It gets to be real fun when a word is not just a noun with several meanings, but also a verb, and/or adjective and is pronounced exactly the same in all use cases.

    Drive

    I need to drive to the grocery store.
    He picked up a couple bases off that line drive.
    I'm thinking about getting new stone for my drive.
    The motor is fine, I'm fairly certain the problem is in the drive.
    After that last uninspiring speech, I've lost all drive to perform.

    That's just a huge lawn. And corn/wheat/alfalfa fields are, uh, original form graineries/grasseries (or maybe raw stock feedlots).

    Why are some rooms called a bathroom when there clearly is no bathtub? I go to the bathroom to take a bath, not to do other things...

    Here in the US we try to say things a little more delicately than in other places throughout the world. In Europe it's no big deal to see a big pictogram sign with TOILET or URINAL in bold letters. Many other cultures are a lot more direct than we are, sometimes even coming across as rude. It's just a cultural thing.

    In Europe, most are labeled "WC" for "Water Closet". Even if the predominate language in that country is NOT English.

    I usually call it a restroom in public places. After all, I get to sit and "rest" for a minute (I know, I know, - it's a girl thing and most the time I don't actuall "rest" anything on the seat)

    In my house it is a bathroom, it has a bath in it.

    One apartment had a bathroom (with bath and sink) and the toilet was stuck in a little closet under the stairs - the kitchen was between the two. Couldn't stand up in it and if you were a hefty person, you weren't getting in there. In that case, it was literally a water closet.

    In Australia and New Zealand a bath room usually has a bath tub and stand up shower and sinks in newer homes at least 10x10
    then toilet is in closet
    My biggest beef was no sinks in toilets area had to go to bathroom to wash hands … Dumb

    We still buy pooper paper or S. Tickets at the store.
    I don't know what bathroom tissue is.
    We need a minute to use the pooper or the tinkler.
    Or to see a man about a horse.
    When it comes to the dog, its a loaf or wolf-bait.

    Now that I think about it, we're a little coarse around here. But not disgusting.
    I'd rather be slightly humorous than PC.
