why ROUNDball?

[nw_hunter]

I just left Rebels house, where we cast some Round Balls. Well!...............Some were round."Sort of"

"Oh Yea" I left him a tub of newly brewed Geezer Grease Patch lube. I know the proper name for it is Geezer grease, because I made it, and I'm a Geezer

"...so why do we call it a ROUNDball..."
-----------------------
Cuz that is easier to say than "spherical ball".
Especially if you talk like Sylvester the Cat: Spppppppppppppppherical! :rotf:

 

[nw_hunter]

:hatsoff: Zonie......Hard to top that one.

 

[Moloch]

I also wonder why its called bow-shooting.
You clearly shoot arrows, not bows.

Or rifle shooting.... :hmm: :haha:

I guess we're all bored tonight.

some more " rounds"
Dum Dum Ball banned by the Geneva Convention prior to WWI.
Punkin Ball Pumpkin ball A shotgun slug.
Why do we refer to all ammo as rounds? :hmm:
Round here we shoot roundballs as our rounds.

Why is a Boxing match separated into "Rounds" when the "Ring" is square????? :hmm:

 

[mike alexandre]

Rugby balls arent round

 

[Thunderchild]

Modern ammo is called ball ammo becouse it uses ball powder.

Or becouse it was called Spherical ball powder.

military loves redundancy
