Examples

“Football is certainly a misnomer, for the game is played not with the feet but with the hands, and the ball is not a ball but an egg. I propose that the game be played with the feet and with a ball, or else that it be called “hand-egg”.”

“Yes, but would anyone show up for a game of handegg?”

“When I get there he was watching handegg. I’m not into that hand egg shit so we got into a heated argument on which was better.”

“You're wrong, kids all around the world play football, it just takes a ball and a pair of sneakers, whereas handegg requires a full body armour.”
