Hey Neil,
We have offside in football, too. It's just a different football,
that's all.
In our football, we also have "encroachment", "clipping", "illegal
motion" to name a few, and none of which have anything to do with
(repectively) putting a fence on your neighbors side of the property
line; mowing the grass; or watching an underage female undulate down the
pavement (which is a sidewalk to us)
