You are queueing in a shop and are second in line. You realise that the girl in front of you doesn't have her purse. You then realise that you have also forgotton yours. Your friend further back offers to lend you her purse but you can't queue jump until it the purse has been thrown towards you. The offside rule in language we understand

I thought the point of the offside rule was that COULDN'T be explained. Therefore this analogy cannot be correct, as it explains it

OK, Sesley. Now do the LBW rule (heh heh).
(Flashman (in "Flashman's Lady") says that batsmen should play without pads. The LBW problem wouldn't arise then.)

I saw a poster today that said, "Offside Rule for girlfriends - when the linesman's flag goes up." Which was meant to be a slightly sexist joke (Oh, these advert people are so daring); but that should be the first rule that everyone learns: if the ref, umpire or whoever, says something happened, then it happened. Arguing about it is pointless. Not that footballists can ever learn that, though.

Not in football. You have a bunch of rules at the start (laws, in cricket) and you both decide to stick to them. It's pointless playing at all if you don't do that.
If we were talking about life in general, I'd agree with you.

To hell with that. Challenge everything. Believe nothing. But you believe you should challenge everything? With your chilling logic you make me feel small Mr Moto.

...and it would be exhausting if you challenged everything. For example Riot if I told you you are beautiful, would you challenge it? Well maybe you would. In fact I'd probably get a smack in the mouth.

The other day my grandaughter (3 yrs old) kept saying "no" to everything. I asked her if she was in a "no mood".
She said no.
