Footy

noun

Football. This can mean Australian Rules Football, Rugby League, Rugby Union, or Soccer. Context is everything. For example, someone with very few teeth, living in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood, will almost certainly mean Aussie Rules Football when referring to the 'footy'. 'The footy' can also mean 'the ball'.
