Balls Conversing.

So, I googled this and found out that "Shuttlecock" is it's official name.
All 22 years of my life people have lied to me and made me believe it was called a Birdie...
Damnit America...

I'm American and I've always called it the shuttlecock, maybe it's one of those 'depends-where-you-are" type words.

It's shuttlecock everywhere else.

I've heard both, it was a joke in gym, some of the guys would call it a shuttlecock because they thought it was funny. I don't know how many people just call it that, I think both names are official and neither is incorrect, most people I know call it a birdie though.

No, its just "fjær". Anyhow, "fjærball" isn't wierd, it just sounds wierd couse' you are saying it in Norwegian. Also, fjærball is Norwegian/danish for "featherball".
