A quick intro to non-brits chatting here:
Rule 1: nothing is meant to be taken seriously. The less funny a comment, the more funny the poster thinks it is.
Rule 2: unless it's meant to be taken seriously.
Rule 3: if something is actually said as a joke, it's probably really serious. The joke is a defence mechanism.
Rule 4: all of the above are reversed with a smiley (example: say a jokey put down, followed by a smiley, you know the person is being passive aggressive and seriously hates you).
Rule 5: unless the smiley is a joke smiley for your benefit to help you understand that it was a joke, in which case it isn't reversing the above rules.
Rule 6: pretend joke smileys, disguised as helpful smileys, are a weapon of thread destruction and are outlawed by international Internet forum regulations, but are still used by utter bitches.

Someone chucks a ball at you (but not really chucking it because that would make it too hard to hit) and you hit it with your bat. You do this until it's time for tea and cakes. Then you give the other team a go. Then the weather decides the result. |

There are two teams one that's in and one that's out.
The team that are out go out as do two of the team that are in.
so there are 13 players out two of whom are in.
When a player who is in is out, they go in.
When 10 players who are in are out then
There is one player left in who is out but as he has no one left to play with so he comes in.
Then all the players who were out come in.
Then the team that was in but then got out go out with two of the players who were out but are now in.
so the players who were out but are now in stay out until they are out and then they come in.
When 10 players who were out go in and then are out and have come in everyone comes in and the game is over |

Go the whole hog and throw in the offside rules while you're at it! Get everything brit confusing out the way! "
so there are two teams one who is kicking the ball from left to right and the other from right to left and they can't touch the ball with their hands except for one member of each team who has a different coloured jersey so his team will know that he can touch the ball with his hands.
now if the team who are kicking the ball from left to right or who are kicking it from right to left get bored with kicking it short distances they might decide to give it a big kick.
This can be useful if one of their team has decided to stop kicking the ball and decided to run up the pitch.
However if he runs passed all the other team apart from the man with the funny coloured jumper he is said to be offside and he then gets upset and shouts at the linesman. The linesman then shouts back. |

There is one player left in who is out but as he has no one left to play with so he comes in.
Then all the players who were out come in.
Then the team that was in but then got out go out with two of the players who were out but are now in.
so the players who were out but are now in stay out until they are out and then they come in.
When 10 players who were out go in and then are out and have come in everyone comes in and the game is over "
But that assumes that each side that is in goes out for just one innings each whereas the reality is is that if they're out for their innings on a test match then each team that is all out may be in again and so have to go out many times before all their innings are complete and they can come in and not be in any longer. |

"A quick intro to non-brits chatting here:
Rule 1: nothing is meant to be taken seriously. The less funny a comment, the more funny the poster thinks it is.
Rule 2: unless it's meant to be taken seriously.
Rule 3: if something is actually said as a joke, it's probably really serious. The joke is a defence mechanism.
Rule 4: all of the above are reversed with a smiley (example: say a jokey put down, followed by a smiley, you know the person is being passive aggressive and seriously hates you).
Rule 5: unless the smiley is a joke smiley for your benefit to help you understand that it was a joke, in which case it isn't reversing the above rules.

Explain the rules of cricket to our friends from over the pond.
Go the whole hog and throw in the offside rules while you're at it! Get everything brit confusing out the way!
so there are two teams one who is kicking the ball from left to right and the other from right to left and they can't touch the ball with their hands except for one member of each team who has a different coloured jersey so his team will know that he can touch the ball with his hands.
now if the team who are kicking the ball from left to right or who are kicking it from right to left get bored with kicking it short distances they might decide to give it a big kick.
This can be useful if one of their team has decided to stop kicking the ball and decided to run up the pitch.
However if he runs passed all the other team apart from the man with the funny coloured jumper he is said to be offside and he then gets upset and shouts at the linesman. The linesman then shouts back. "
I say, awfully old thing, that's just not cricket donchaknow. |

The offside rule for simpletons.
It's way to complicated to explain but it's easy to say when you're not offside.
You're not offside in any of the following situations.
1) You are in your own half.
2) There is at least one playing, other than the goalkeeper, from the opposing team between you and the opposing goal.
3) The ball is not in play.
4) You are not in play.
If at least one of the above apply then you cannot be offside.
If non of the above apply then, if the ball is passed to or towards you you are offside.
For our US friends rule one is slightly different in that you cannot be offside if you are in your own half or the first quarter of the oppositions half.

Now that cricket and footie are sorted, why not explain why in rugby they run forward towards the opposing try line, but can only pass the ball backwards...... |

"Now that cricket and footie are sorted, why not explain why in rugby they run forward towards the opposing try line, but can only pass the ball backwards...... "
Because gaining ground towards the opposing goal has to be done bodily. If you chuck it forward there's less chance of seeing tackles, meaning I would see less men with massive beards, gorgeous thighs get all physical and muddy with each other and I might cry as a result.
Sorry, I love and prefer football as a game but I am a West Country girl through and through and rugby is in the blood. |

"Now that cricket and footie are sorted, why not explain why in rugby they run forward towards the opposing try line, but can only pass the ball backwards...... "
Because in Rugby, if you're in play and in front of the ball then you are offside, therefore there is no legitimate reason to pass the ball forward. A game with a similar ball and of a common origin to rugby does allow the ball to be thrown forward resulting in totally different game known as American Football. |

sounds like me trying to explain to some brits why a large part of the US will always love college football and basketball games over the NFL and the NBA...
and why a lot of people will have a much stronger attachment to their universities and they states they represent than they ever will to a professional team.....
there are very few professional teams that will do that.... the cowboys, the yankees, the cubs ect....

Cricketers often have really nice bums, I think it's all the crouching
They hide them under trousers and jumpers though "
Yeah, but once you get their trousers off |

"Now that cricket and footie are sorted, why not explain why in rugby they run forward towards the opposing try line, but can only pass the ball backwards......
Because gaining ground towards the opposing goal has to be done bodily. If you chuck it forward there's less chance of seeing tackles, meaning I would see less men with massive beards, gorgeous thighs get all physical and muddy with each other and I might cry as a result.
Sorry, I love and prefer football as a game but I am a West Country girl through and through and rugby is in the blood.
But if the aim is to gain ground bodily, surely they don't need a ball?
In which case rugby could be renamed "running".
Hey, Courtney, is all this helping?
Not even a little. But don't let that stop you.

How about you tell us what confuses you, and we'll do our very best to help.
And we promise to be very serious and not take the piss and not be silly and tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Nothing specifically. The thread was just cuz I'm shit at understanding British humor. Which I totally am.
But for some reason it turned into a sports lesson. So I'm observing the British in their natural habitat because sports is in the UK what eating is in the US - pervasive, a national pastime, and constantly on everyone's mind.

I don't think you're shit at understanding British humour though, your posts, your replies and your banter all suggest you do "get it".
You make me chuckle. In a good way. "
Oh, cheers
I've had my "Doh!" moments, though. Sometimes I just don't respond to people cuz I can't tell whether they are joking

"it is so much funnier when you have to work out the sports i am talking about.... "
From my perspective it would be funnier if I was just making up that I didn't know.
I do know about Ultimate though. Which is pretty cool. |
