Turf
A: the upper stratum of soil bound by grass and plant roots into a thick mat
also : a piece of this
B: an artificial substitute for this (as on a playing field)
In other words, turf is "turf" even when it's not. Turf, that is.
So now we can all clearly understand the current NFL/player controversy about turf. The players are complaining about playing fields with turf, which is not grass. What they want to play on is grass turf.
Better now?
