Rocked: New trainers. Yes, I know I'm sad but it's the only exciting thing to happen to me recently.

Divided by a common language time. New whatnow? I would guess shoes, tennis shoes/sneakers, but... ?

I guess you'd call them sneakers? You guys seem to have a million words for the same thing - what the hell is a tennis shoe? Is it a style or a functional item like bowling shoes? So confused...

I've always just called shoes shoes.

Rocked: Still waiting for something to appear in this category.

Sucked: I'm tired, I'm probably going to fail English class (screw you poetry, I hate you with all my will), and I'm going to lose a bet I made on someones relationship. Things seem to going strong and to win they have to break up by Sunday. Damn, damn, damn!

EDIT: Ignore the rest, Wikipedia knows all, even though it doesn't know that we Americans also call them "tennies" sometimes.

Tennis shoes=sneakers=trainers. Tennis shoes are, theoretically, shoes that you wear for tennis, but for some reason my family, at least, has always called sneakers tennis shoes. Or, possibly, I could be wrong about this, I don't pay that much attention to what we say, tennies. Some people around here prefer to call them sneakers.

This is because, contrary to popular belief, the US has many, many different accents and dialects. Plus, I live in an area where at least three different accents/dialects meet, so that's why there's two.

Also, depending on who you are, how old you are, or whatever, "shoes" can mean either whatever I have on my feet at the moment (except boots or sandals (sandals may also be called different things depending on the type or brand) or specifically nice shoes, like you'd wear to church. With me, shoes are usually just shoes.

Also, "boots" does not mean those shoes you wear to play soccer. For soccer, baseball, and football you wear "cleats," unless you're some kind of Britophile weirdo. "Boots" are, well, boots.

Also, there probably are specific shoes designed for tennis. There are also probably specific shoes designed for basketball, jogging, whatever. I'd probably call them all "shoes." Or "tennis shoes."

Although we do call the footwear used in football (soccer) boots we also call boots well... boots. So dont differ that much in that aspect. :lol:

We just call any sports footwear 'Trainers' and arent really specific about what its being used for.

Rocked

Some great games out soon and Download Festival is edging ever closer.

Sucked

Weather better start improving soon as dont want to be drunk in a field watching bands with 80,000 people in the cold and rain.
 
Re: Whats Rocked And Sucked?

Rocked: Calc final tomorrow, and I AM GOING TO GET A "B," I KNOW IT, REALLY.

Sucked: Not quite done with class for the summer.

Yeah, I thought so, but the football boots part threw me off.

Yeah, I figured. Not sure why they're all tennis shoes to us. But they are. Unless they're sneakers. (Wikipedia might tell me the whys and wherefores, but I lost interest.)
 
Re: Whats Rocked And Sucked?

Rocked: I have invented a new type of plant, by taking DNA from Shaquille O'neal and crossing it with a Ferocactus Pilosus, I have invented what I like to call... THE SHAQTUS!

Sucked: It won't stop making bad movies.
 
Re: Whats Rocked And Sucked?

Rocked: Going away in a couple of weeks :w00t:

Sucked: Steve's ill and I can't find a copy of the last thing I need to get for his birthday - it's too late to get it delivered if I order online and every shop I go into doesn't have many PC games available...

My father took off work today, my Biology textbook is being biased again and I can't make grade without lying to it to make it feel good about it's retarded self.

How is it biased? Just curious.

Biology ties back to scripture, it doesn't even teach Evolution, only that it is an idiotic and unreasonable theory and that god made everything. Other than that, it stays correct and teaches appropriately about enzymes and cells.
