> It's foosball - foos is, IIRC, German for foot. A lot of my friends play that game. I, for one, hate it. I'm just no good at it - once a friend and I teamed up against my best friend, who played with only his left hand, and he beat us. Badly.

I think it was originally "fußball", with the 'ß' being pronounced like an 's'. But you know what the English are like. We won't accept any of those foreign letters, so the popular name is now "foosball." The ideal name is "table football," but that makes you think of Subbuteo.
