Romney needs a diplomatic glossary; Libyan demonstrators apologize; and other top Thursday stories... Consulates are not embassies: It went mostly unnoticed at the time, but in Mitt Romney’s televised statement yesterday on the attacks on U.S diplomatic missions in the Middle East, he repeatedly referred to “our embassy at Benghazi.” There is no U.S. embassy in Benghazi. Embassies are only in capitals, Tripoli, in the case of Libya. The attack was on a U.S. consulate in Libya’s second city. Pro-America demonstrations: Protesters stormed the U.S. Embassy in Yemen, where fortunately no one was injured. Meanwhile, after the attack in Benghazi, a number of demonstrators turned out with completely different messages — apologetic, pro-American, and anti-al-Qaida. Some read “we are sorry” in English and Arabic. Another English sign read, “Thugs are killers don’t represent Benghazi or Islam.” Another read, “Chris Stevens was a friend to all Libyans,” referring to the slain U.S. ambassador. Others in Arabic read, “No no no to al-Qaida.” Delete the scoop?

Sous le regard bienveillant des spotters, les kopites déploient le tifo bariolé des Reds dans le Spion kop d’Anfield Road et entament le You’llneverwalkalone. Pendant ce temps, les tifosi, dignes héritiers du pila paganica montrent que le 2e homme est bien là, supporter des rossoneri, en soufflant dans leurs vuvuzelas, faisant vibrer l’enceinte. Les teppisiti sont restés à la maison, écartés des tribunes pour la phase finale, afin d’éviter l’affrontement avec les hooligans. Ils pourront toujours suivre la retransmission en multiplex, en tripotant leurs paninis vintages… 3La première partie, donc, est consacrée au dictionnaire lui-même, de 1-1-8 à zone technique. Vous pouvez ainsi apprendre, en début d’ouvrage, à mieux connaître les tactiques de jeu : de l’antique 1-2-7 aux plus récents 3-4-3 et au 4-3-2-1 utilisé par l’équipe de France en 1998. Vous pouvez savoir également à quelles équipes sont attribués des noms, par exempleles Aigles, les Aiglons, les Merengues, les Roja, les Galactiques, la Celeste, les BafanaBafana… Vous pouvez découvrir que les animaux sont très présents dans le football : l’aile de pigeon, le hérisson, le renard des surfaces, les crocodiles, le coup du crapaud, le corbeau, les condors, le bourrin, les fennecs, le ouistiti ou encore la panthère noire. Vous naviguez au sein de plusieurs langues : le pasuckuakohowog amérindien, le soccer d’Amérique du Nord, le cuju chinois, les torcidores brésiliens, le capocannoniero italien, l’asqaqtuk inuit, la bronca espagnole, la clericuscup du Vatican, la Mannschaft allemande, le penalty anglais… Vous y trouverez peut-être la poésie de certains termes comme la feuille morte, la flèche blonde, le major galopant, les sang et or, le pibe d’oro ou le pichichi. Évidemment, les mots d’argot sont également expliqués : pion, attentat, mine, manchot, balayeur, café-crème… et les antonomases comme une arconada, une panenka, une papinade. Il y a une petite place laissée au football féminin : avec un extrait d’une chanson de Mickey 3D pour définir la footballeuse : « Avec son petit chignon sur la tête/Et son petit short un peu serré/Ses chaussures blanches et ses chaussettes/Jusqu’auxgenoux bien remontées/La petite footballeuse de Sherbrooke/Avait les jambes un peu musclées », ou avec l’entrée par la coupe du monde féminine. Cette place peut être considérée comme insuffisante, notamment au regard du succès du football féminin au cours des jeux olympiques de 2012 et de son importance dans certains pays comme les États-Unis et le Japon.

Le Comité des Constructeurs Français d’Automobiles édite cette année encore son dictionnaire du vocabulaire de l’automobile. Toute l'actualité en image "Des Mots et des Autos", c’est le nom du dictionnaire qui est édité régulièrement par le CCFA, le Comité des Constructeurs Français d’Automobiles. La première édition date de 1995 et la dernière en date remontait à septembre 2010. Comme la société tout entière, et ce qui la compose, l’automobile est en perpétuelle évolution et les termes qui lui sont appliqués également. Une commission composée entre autres de représentants de l’Académie Française, des ministres des Transports et de l’Education Nationale, des constructeurs français, d’ingénieurs ou encore d’universitaires, s'est rassemblée pour définir la terminologie de chaque mot se rapprochant de l’automobile et en a édité un dictionnaire.
