It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

I could be wrong, but during the lovely british empire sailing days, limes to stave off scurvy, hence limey.
Yeah PI, because a sport that you only use your feet in and focuses on a ball is not football.
You need a simple way to say the difference.
Here, football could mean a number of things, so we keep it simple
Union: Rugby Union
League: Rugby League
AFL: Aussie Rules
Grid Iron: American Football (aka: pansies)
Gaelic Football: obvious
Football: soccer
this, of course, depends on the circle of people, if you only talk about league, then that will be football. But in a big group...

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
I was just kidding, insinuating to have changed my (tapical european, as in bad) opinion about football to the better, then disclosing that my new opinion was bad as well. But it was all a joke and it's even worse a joke than it already was to begin with now that I explained it.
Yes, yes. just yes. Good point about the smile as well.

Oh of course, American Football has the pansies. It makes sense that AF players who get too injured to keep playing and so switch to rugby where they can play are the pansies. Or when rugby players who've also played AF confess that rugby is the easier and less-dangerous sport then of course AF players are pansies. And of course it makes sense that none of the rugby players I've known were ever willing to pad up and go head-to-head with an AF player that the AF player was the pansy. It all makes sense.
Don't project your guilt onto us. You made an easier going sport cuz you couldn't handle American Football, the truth is obvious.
