You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen & which you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also & is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop & sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper & buy the shoes! At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse & buy the shoes!
BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper & you would be OFFSIDE!

sunshine - Hmmm, so true.
Social Science Lady - It's supposed to be humourous, no harm intended.
cherrycheesecake - Round the back of the old wine shop, up to 70% off!
**Missy** - Never tried it to chat up women. Worth a second thought!
And to those who already know it, I bow to you.

Oh wow i finally understand it!
Most women only ask you to explain the offside rule as a chat-up technique anyway. Just a little insight for you!

you know what really gets me ?- the way men are totally unable to understand the facial expressions of cats ! I means what's so difficult about that ?? Offside rule - no problem if I had the slightest interest in it.

What if the purse hits me, bounced off my head, and goes in front of the other girl?

How patronising! Thank you but most females do understand it, is they make a point of doing so, just so they can avoid men trying to explain it to them!
