Jack-in-the-box  +  68927 Thu, 20 Jan 05 11:11 PM Is it possible, and correct, in English to say "basket" meaning "basket-ball" (e. g., "a basket team"), or "volley" in the sense of "volley-ball"? Thanks for your answers. Jack-in-the-box Joined on Thu, Jul 1 2004 Italy Junior Member 84 A friend in need is a friend indeed!

That sounds distinctly like Japanese, though there may be other languages that have also adopted these English words and then shortened them. just the truth Joined on Mon, Dec 27 2004 Regular Member 849
