Why do people do the following?
Why do people do the following?
Just reading though a few topics this morning and several lately, and I get a confused with the names people use for other teams, obviously b4stards is a well known nickname but of late I've seen these names for them lot and other teams too, can anyone shed any light. ( obviously I know what teams they mean, but wouldn't it be just as easy to write the real name? )
Wet Spam
Wovers
Blunderland
Chelski
Weeds
Now I get there's nicknames for rivals or teams that are self explanatory like donkey lashers, pie eaters etc, however the ones listed above just seem odd, neither insulting or funny, just a bit weird and childish ( although that could just be me )
So, is it just some kids being immature or is there a different reason?

Re: Why do people do the following?
Tbf “ citeh” have been refereed to as such by their own fans for many a blue? Moon . It’s neither derogatory or funny it’s just mildest of plays on the manc pronunciation .I’ll grant you the rest on that list should cease for anyone over 13yrs old imo

Chelski came about after Abramovich bought the club with his Russian money

Re: Why do people do the following?
I thought Chelski quite clever - made to sound Russian because of their Russian owner, Abramovich.

As for Milano, perhaps that's what their rivals call them to wind them up. Wonder if it works?

Internet Police alert. If I don’t like it then it must be wrong.
I care neither way whether someone writes Wet Spam or West Ham. It’s the internet, you don’t need to be outraged all the time.

Even Sky Sports get involved with a "witty" nickname for our own club. They call us "Barnsley"

As shown above theres loads, and they're used quite a lot.
Think the question has been answered though, think I'm just a boring man who doesn't find it as funny as the rest

Re: Why do people do the following?
I tend to refer to Blackburn Rovers as "" the sh1tty-arsed tribe of horse-knobbing fat turds"".
Is that acceptable ?
Or childish ?

Re: Why do people do the following?
Blunderland is pretty explanatory, as with Chelski and Citeh. Ones like Wet Spam seem a tad daft.

They are all wrong. Bayern is German for bavaria. Hence bayern munchen the team.dsr wrote:The one I can't understand is Bayern Munich. Why not Bavarian Munich, or even Bavarian Munchen?

I suppose it's an old imperialist attitude of giving somewhere an English sounding name, but it's shared elsewhere. Obviously the Romans gave British towns new roman names etc.
It's why lots of places in Wales need bi lingual signposts. But then some places in England have names that are different in Welsh.
Some have 3 names. Liege is luik or luttich. Some bear no resemblance like lutetia and rijsel.
Anyway, I draw the line with whatever the proper name for red star Belgrade is.
