Why do you call it "HOBBY"?

[IamGroot]

Just wondering. Why is "this thing" called a "Hobby"?

You're exchanging $ for some pooning time. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. What makes this a "HOBBY"??

Better than calling it a habit lol.
If you enjoyed it, it’s a hobby. Don’t overthink it or just don’t do it then.

People running around with a stick call it "Hobby Horsing". Do we share the same mental disability??

Better how? What's wrong with whore mongering?? I love me some whores. Nothing wrong with it. Is there?

I don't call it a 'Hobby'.

I just really like sexual women. Better than drinking and drugs.

It's a non-judgmental euphemism for a self-indulgent pleasurable activity.

No.
You’re overthinking it

Depends on your intention.

Hobby = “an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure.”

Seems quite straight forward.

Curious when was the word ''hobby'' first attached to our thing?
