Why is 0 score called LOVE in tennis?
In: Other
In tennis, “love” is used to represent a score of zero because the game needs to sugarcoat the fact that you’re failing miserably. Some say it comes from the French word “l’œuf,” which means “egg,” symbolizing the shape of a zero. But let’s be honest, they just wanted a nicer way to say, “Hey, you’re scoring a big fat nothing.” So next time you’re at love, just remember it’s a fancy way of saying you’re starting from zilch, nada, zero.
