hoofball
n.— «The teams sampled were English, where there is a much higher number playing hoofball anyway. Thus more goals were scored by hoofers. Once the ratio of hoofing teams to passing teams is figured into the data of similar experiments, hoofers are found to be consistently less likely to score.» —“Our Squad” by hughff Crystal Palace Football Club BBS (United Kingdom) Aug. 2, 2002.
