Fooseball terminology


We recently added a fooseball table to the basement. Immediately El Duche began making up words to describe the action.

"Cluck" : although typically known as the sound a duck makes, El Ducherino meant it as a combination of chuck and clack I think. which is kind of what he does with the fooseball and the ensuing sound it makes as it hits the wall.


"Minigle" : El Duchante made up this word while describing a particular play. Apparently it means to delicately manipulate the fooseball between two of your players before accidentally knocking it into your own goal.

I will keep you updated on any further Esperanto.

  1. Interesting hemes, or themes, or whatever. But, hey NO ONE would ever set up a soccer- foteball formation as 1-2-5-3. That sucks! So... Let's adjust it to more real formations, or enable the players to do it. Yah, I play 1-3-5-2 vs your 1-4-4-2. WWhy NOT?
