Do they think this makes them sound cool or what? I have never heard anyone refer to basketball as round ball IRL, and if I did I would bert stare the frick out of them. Hoops I kinda get because it's a lot shorter than typing out basketball, but again, it's not something you really hear IRL too often. Do people actually talk like this IRL?

I was really wondering what you thought was hip/cool and in this season so that I could apply it to my everyday life.

Post more, after you light yourself on fire.

I'm not "telling". I'm "asking". Try harder at reading.

Are you 8?

Why do you even care how other people talk?

I bet you throw the pigskin around the gridiron like a bitch, too

26.

One reason I ask is because "hoops" and "round ball" both sound like something a 60 year old would say when trying to sound hip to the youths.

Slightly more acceptable, but still lame.

I like to watch the cagers mix it up in a dual on the ol' hardcourt.

Sounds about as cool as how multiple IRL's look in a single post.

We were raised better in Alabama than to hit women. We only hit whores and only when they deserve it
