How Sports Got Their Names 

Nahh eyebrow ball is the best Edit: all in favor?

Or just call it soccer to make it make sense for everyone

All in favor? We would also take hand egg, competitive roid rage or human chess.

@@ZackeTheBrute I vote for competitive roid rage! XD

@@regular_joe1669 nah, you see, Soccer is a British word that was short the original name of soccer, Association Football. dont ask me how they got soccer, Oxford people made the word in the 1800s

Actually, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Yeah, I initially thought it was just Ryan doing a British accent, but that can't be, it was so authentic!

Thats not what actual british people sound like-

What about Dennis?

@@joshuamusicante4841 Oh really?

😄😄😄😄

It gets better every time I watch it. 🤣

You can tell the insect department drove him insane with their puns

2:09

@@desbugfan8429 Ty

But he said it be an "eee-eee" in the insect department before left!

That attention to detail is incredible

Oh shit, I'm disappointed I didn't even catch that. Well done!!!

And that he was in fact the guy that proposed the name Bee in the first place.

@@markjones5973 he still heard that it got named BEE before he left

Jokes like that are why Ryan is a comedic genius.

How about Dennis’ reaction to the Google search?!

dud even his commersals are fun!

And having the bug guy be the one to correct him was great.

Ryan sucks since he won't post more GAH!!!!!! JP I know the writing, editing, and dressing must be a nightmare. His closet must be huge haha. Does he even wear pants?! Like fuck it I need to change six times. He did miss a oh there is a Hawk 🔑 joke! He is a legend.

That's just because the weapon departement didn't named bullets yet

RUG

That's because it is a type of bird. Several species in fact, of the taxonomic Family _Sulidae,_ Order _Pelecaniformes_ or _Suliformes_ There is also the Great Tit _(Parus major),_ a passerine bird in the tit family _Paridae._

@@TF2CrunchyFrog wow! Tiddy bird!

I don’t understand how those get airborne

I told you guys not to Google it

I googled booby expecting to see booby but I instead saw booby, and was pleasantly surprised. But then I searched boobies instead, and saw boobies instead of boobies, and I was disappointed.

Wicked

i say "wicked" upwards of 14 times every half hour

it is innit...WICCKED

Wicked is my first word

blimey

The RGCU

I love that

I appreciate this info. These guys are hard to tell apart.

​@@eugenetswong Actually it's Super-Easy...

@@vladutcornelbarely an inconvenience

Football, beacuse you use feet to kick the ball, and not "soccs"

@@fangier0 But what if you have played football without shoes but whilst wearing socks?

@@gm2407 Ok, but they are not soccs, they are socks, so "soccer" should be "socker"

@@fangier0 That is sensible.

Well that’s because you don’t know the actual history. Soccer was a term the British came up with which was shortened from association football. They called it association football because there was another sport that already was Called football named rugby football. They actually evolved from the same sport. The term football is actually referring to a bunch of medieval games played on foot. So it actually had nothing to do with using the foot to kick the ball. Now another sport evolved from rugby football in America, and because it came from rugby football they just called it football. Now the terms soccer and football were actually interchangeable until about 1980 when England decided out of nowhere that they were going to exclusively call it football. Of course the name football was already trademarked in the us so they continued to call it soccer. So it’s englands fault, they can suck it. It’s called soccer.

Holy smokes you’re right. _Perfect._

And he's the one to differentiate wasp from bee

@@klas666 and he named the bee

Okay, yeah; that's different enough

this is a good comment

@Cassie Instead: We c'an c'all t'is 'ne ball! , no, 'ou 'ave 'o 'ase 'it 'n somethin' more ''an ball. ok'ay, 'ase 'all

what about softball? oh wait, don't....

im cracking up, i cant breath help me

"Dennis!" Had me 🤣

Also "tits". Specifically blue tits.

@@addaku Yeah, it was the "Dennis!" for me, too

Google failed me, all I see is funny looking bird.

Dennis elbow!

But since it's scripted, isn't it intentional?

Super easy, barely an inconvenience

@@oddtomato1049 look, I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about the wordplay.

I think you mean "Oh, not having balls is TIGHT!"

"Unintentional"

Handball, Football, Shoulderball, Headball, Elbowball, Kneeball, Ankleball, Wristball, Chestball, Pelvisball, Hipball, Faceball, Buttball...... the list goes on 🤣

Oh coming up with names is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

@@Broockle Eyeballball, ballball...

@@markjones5973 Ballball is one of my favourite ballgames.

Headball, Shoulderball, Kneeball, and Toeball.

The funny thing is, that's actually a wasp

That 's the ryanverse for you

Well it's very simple, barely an inconvenience, but people just stopped wanting to call sports by "this game" or "that game" or "this one game with the ball".

@@drollfurball2863 So instead of "the game with the ball and the foot" they can now say "football", so happy for them

@@LaNoir. don't confuse it with "football" though

@@user-mw2sk7pi5x You mean "shoulderball"?

That sucks man, I recommend plenty of rest and applying ice packs 3-4 times a day. If the pain persists you might want to try physical therapy.

Get well soon!

@@chrys9256 Dennis

*Maximum Dennis*

wait i dont get the pun

His editing is TIGHT!

There are a lot of things to name

A lot of things to name, and they've been around nameless for a VERY long time.

Fr

Yes naming department is important

Except for the colour department

The Definers

just rolls off the tongue

How about a video where they come up with the names for all these companies from the videos.

@@damyenhockman5440 I like The Christeners better

But how did they know what "The Place Where Words For Things Are Decided" means if they didn't already have "The Place Where Words For Things Are Decided"?

The attention to detail is amazing

I was thinking that was going to be the initial suggestion for rugby. A lot of rugby is shoulder ball!

I think that name would really fit Amercian Football. Seems a lot od shoulders are involved in that.

Shoulder ball made me laugh so hard I almost passed out.

@@ArnLPs I mean tackling you are not wrong

@@StephenBain Yeah, especially whenever the players ram their shoulders into the other guys'...nevermind.

same

What's that mean , how booby gets airborne ?

ikr I love that none of them knew what boobs are.

yup

Aaaaaa oke, How ?

That's why they call it the wonder bra.

lol I was laughing from that as well.

Well you see you get a trampoline

Aaaand there it is.

Dude. If you actually google the word you'll see the bird.

@@otbaht they have pickles with a pretty big sandwich in it. Now

Why wait until it's giant? You can start now, as an entrepreneur with a small company of one. And the exposure will help that small company _grow_ to a giant one, one day, maybe.

Yes and it also table dennis...

im in canada and all the dumbbells are in pounds

It’s 30 pounds 30kgs are like 60 pounds

@@simeondee8179 its not like you've seen them all.

@@simeondee8179 Yep. We Canadians use metric for almost everything... except weight, and people's heights.

A 30 kg dumbbell would be far larger. It's 30 pounds, still not bad, but obviously pretty reasonable.

I'm your 69th like. Everybody say "NICE"

@@brucemustdie no

@@brucemustdie NICE

I mean on the Average you use your Shoulders for Tackles a bit more than your Feet in American Football so it checks out 🏈🤔

It should have always been called Handegg...

They tackle, so Tackleball!! hum... actually, that does not sound too bad.

Concussion Ball!

@@valeriegrindinger6294 if you go far enough in the past, the name Football makes sense. Plus handegg sounds ridiculous

I'm sure his efforts are more appreciated here than the insect department. His ideas there weren't very good, according to that one person

I instantly saw that video after this to see if hes actually there.

What?

@@ArnLPs The Quid (the currency in England) fell into a ditch and hence they named the sport Quidditch

@@ArnLPs quid: currency Ditch: where the money fell

Because in England money is also "quid" and it fell into a "ditch", nice.

This is excellent

"Violence!!!" "You want to call them violins? Okay that works"

@@han090 I think it should be like Boss: Okay guys what should we call this? Ryan 1: The Bow scraper Ryan 2: Ouch Ryan 1: What? Ryan 2: It's eerie it sounds so violent Boss: guys whats going on? Ryan 2: This guy wants to associate the names with violence Boss: Violins, weird name but it works

There should be one like: Boss: Okay this one Ryan 1: Pao Ryan 2: Excuse me? Ryan 1: Pao, it's a good name Ryan 3: not trying to be mean, but that's the worst name ever Ryan 1: okay then just, do something with P & O Boss: Piano, Okay then

@@matban9082 Or like Boss: okay this what did you guys come up for this Ryan 1: Oh we assigned that to Joe where's he at? Ryan 2: we fired him Ryan 3: what? Why? Ryan 2: he was being perverted in the bathrooms Ryan 1: Oh...My god. Boss: Guys can we keep on the topic? Who had this instrument again? Ryan 3: It was Joe Boss: well wheres Joe Ryan 2: we'll you see, we had to ban Joe Boss: Banjo, yep that works

There's one already for hammers etc

Should rewatch that I guess...

omg thats a good easter egg if true

There are so many things to name

Naming things is tight but being in a hurry is actually super easy barely an inconvenience

A lot of names we have for things do seem to have not been well thought through.

I agree Jeff

Also, on the how colors got its name he was ridiculed for taking the job seriously, after that he didnt care anymore

😂

No no, this really is an example of irony.

Because they think that men can be women? Lol only explanation I can think of

@@dragon-du6ew I'd be angry too😂😂

"What can we name this triangle-shaped thing? Anyone? Hello?"

Ana is currently peeing

"What is that small thing that whines and wheezes like a dying horse ?" (with a big smile) " Harmonica. " "Jerry you are weird."

Easy there, easy! Don't be so violen' with that sensitive instrument.

As someone who was born and currently remains English, it was spot-on. I had no idea Ryan had an English cousin who looks exactly like him.

no....just no

I can tell you right now he sounds nothing like a British person, neither northern Manchulean or southern Londoner. It’s just a funny yet stereotypical British voice.

@@eawproductions No fucking shit

@Latest Obsession I'm a true eng.

"And what should we name that feathered ball, anyway?"

@@andybeyer2230 creepy guy:"shuttleCOCK." "why do we still have this guy?"

"What do we can the thing that shuttles across the playing field?" Taku already posted the correct answer.

I am glad it left your stomach, it could of gotten digested! How did the cat get in there anyways? I hope you weren’t trying to eat it.

I also burst out laughing and made my cat spook and jump away. So funny

I also occasionally eat my cat

Same here, with the mad cat.

The plot twist is Ryan has multiple identical twins from across the world.

this is genius.

I dont get it. googled it too, wasn't really shocked. What am I missing?

@@stefanpieper3757 boobs

DENNIS!!

Is it actually a Bird or something stupid like the Sun

@@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen yes, there is a bird called a Booby and another bird called a Tit. I’m not joking.

He looked so devastated

I don't know man. While all of them are great, I still don't think he has topped How tools names were decided. That was a masterpiece

I still call hockey ice hockey because of myself being a huge fan of One Piece more than the sport of hockey itself.

@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr I don’t watch one piece, do they call it that in the show?

@@silentstarproductions2469 , Haki the Japanese word for willpower is pronounced exactly the same way as hockey the sport is pronounced.

Hawkey -- well, there's no bird called an Ice Hawk.

He's Canadian, after all. I think mostly Europeans call it ice hockey. I doubt Ozzies do, I'm expecting "puckydoo" or "hocko", something along those lines.

And the word soccer came from "Association Football" as a shortened version of association.

@@SimonMoon5 Yes! Thank you! (thank you for adding that info my comment got to long to add it)

To add to that rugby is another type of football

@@El-mi4vi yup

Also fun fact, Soccer is a far superior name for the sport, instantly recognisable with no confusion with other sports.

That was the joke that broke me. I was unprepared.

Wicked things are tight!
