The story goes that two friends (somewhere in England) were on their way to play football. One asked the other, "what are you playing?", to which he replied "rugger", short for Rugby football. The second friend asked the first the same question; he replied "soccer", short for association football.
That's the story anyway. Probably not 100% true, but it's the best explanation I've heard...
