The phrases "wheel whine" and "were loose" must count as well, shirley?

Add to that everybody's favourite gadget: the Omsung Phine.

Enrest, and just about everything he says :)

'Pretendance'

Which BTW is a far more accurate word than 'Attendance'

That one is actually quite clever though.

The other ones are shite. I never say "Palarse" or "Smellhurst". There's MORE than enough ammo to hurl at those tragic, arsonist, bus-vandalising cockwombles without resorting to rubbishy playground crap like that.

Seaweed is far worse though :ffsparr: But yes I do agree.

'Pretendance'

Which BTW is a far more accurate word than 'Attendance' when applied to the number of people attending an Albion home game

Pretendance is a legitimate word I reckon, especially as it's a useful shorthand for the distinction between real and stated attendance, and helps to avoid the usual accompanying binfest. It's just when people think they're being clever using it that grates.

It's moved away from football too - Trump used it at his inauguration.

I would say that is a legitimate portmanteau.

I still think Sjoke City is particularly funny, but then I'm probably 5 years old [emoji38]ol:
