That's interesting because the term 'Love' in tennis is actually derived from Jazz. Sorry, got caught up with my DeLaSoul argument. I mean it's derived from the French term for egg = L'oeuf (probably cause the zero is shaped like an egg) :ploppingeggs:
Are you for real ??? That would be too funny


I wiki'd it: here

in short:

The use of "love" for zero comes from "l'oeuf," French for 'egg.' (The use of 'goose-egg' for a zero score is common in baseball.) When stating the score, the server's score is stated first. If the server announces the score as "thirty-love," for example, it means that the server has won two points and the receiver none.

I love it how they think they are so smart and know everything, when in reality they say something really dumb that shows that they're full of $hit.  I think its funny.

Yeah, I watch tennis.  The point system goes as follows:


0 - Love


1 - 15


2 - 30


3 - 40


4 - game


So if you gain 4 points in a row you win a game, if you win 6 games then you a set (you must beat your opponent by 2 games or more, if not then it goes to a tie breaker), for men if you win 3 of 5 you win the match, for women if you win 2 of 3 you win the match.


I hope this makes it a little more clear, if not let me know and I'll be more than happy to try again.

I got that, it is more the reference made to the tennis that I am confused with. Do you watch tennis ? I never heard that term.
