(The term Jap was used) as early as 1880, the English Oxford dictionary noted “Jap” as a colloquial term of abbreviation.
Interesting bet, now which one would you like to give up? The left or the right? Sorry for the late reply. I was busy working the job that I apparently don’t have.

Well, my reply to Pacer, had exactly this hint on it. I just didn’t wanted to start a debate because of it.

No, football is the correct term. Only 'mericans would come up with the idea to use the name “football” for a sport where there’s neither a ball, nor a foot kicking that non-ball object very often. A sport they only had to come up with because they couldn’t play real football.

So is real-real football. Also I’m not saying that rugby ain’t a legitimate sport, but what’s with all the padding?

Oops, as i didn’t knew exactly the English name for it, i did some research now fast. It looks like in English it is actually called a sausage, polony i got when searching or baloney as the American version. We in Ro, make a clear difference between this and the traditional sausages.
Sorry again, my bad

Well I am not American so it’s a sausage! Quite apart from the fact that nothing else makes sense anyway, in relation to the intended humour used.

Also known here as ‘bangers’, due to their tendency to explode if the skin isn’t pierced before cooking.
‘Bangers and mash’ (simply sausage and mashed potato) being a well known dish in this part of the world.

Exactly, that’s the ones we traditionally call sausages. All the other ones are in the “Salami” category. I hope that now you understand why i made my first comment

I believe the Germans might describe it as a ‘Wurst’, of which there are several varieties. Some in the Royal Navy might refer to sausages as ‘devils kidneys,’ or ‘snorkers,’ rather than ‘bangers.’
