they actually don't even use the same court. if you go to a proper racquet club, they'll have distinct courts for squash and racquetball. different dimensions, features, and even slightly different surfaces.
Squash has a metal bottom that juts out in the front where you cant hit the ball and weird shaped walls. Raquetball is basically just a rectangle box, where you have to hit it close to the bottom.
Right, I used to play in racquetball tournaments (was an "A" player). I have seen squash played on the same courts as racquetball here in the States, I seem to recall they used different markings on the floor, though not entirely sure about that.
I thought the pavement and sidewalk bit was funny, I chuckled. Then afterwords nothing else was funny. I just figured I didn’t understand British humor
All of his examples are pretty trash. Like this guy forgot that horses used to often come with carts, carriages, etc. so there is a purpose in specifying “horseback”

I mean, I get the overall sentiment, but squash and racquetball are two different sports
