Then is the " Super Bowl" really a shit plate, or plate of shit?

The name comes from Rugby Football and maybe touchdown has something to do with that too, but the word 'Bowl' comes from the Rose Bowl stadium which looks like a bowl so they called the championship game there the Rose Bowl. After that the college games were called bowl games and the NFL followed. 'Super' comes from a toy called SuperBall apparently, the founder of the AFL liked the name.
Or you could call it Hand Egg Shit Plate, kinda has a nice ring to it
