Football Nicknames that piss me off!

[W.C.]

That is just 'cringeworthy' though, because no one says AYmex.

except, except, that dick of a commentator who did the opening game. He called it the Amex at the beginning, only to start saying Ay- MAX!

 

[Superphil]

Really? So they say AYmerica ? Blimey.

A good friend of mine does, all the time, I've advised him it's incorrect but it's just the way he says it, and he's been to the Amex on more than one occasion to watch the Albion. Another is my brother, he lives overseas, but whenever he's visiting, and we've been to the Amex he keeps on calling it Aymex. IIRC they both say America, not Aymerica. I guess some people just say things differently.

No! No! It's Crusty Phallus.

Fair enough I suppose, language does constantly evolve. Still seems a little unconventional to me though.

All of them. I find people rather sad who do this

I find people who get sad about people using certain words rather sad.

 

[smeg]

I've got mates who support Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton, they all call it the Gaymex, it's only banter though

Wazza, Muzza, JT, Stocko/Stockers etc... they all do my nut in because they sound like baby language.

Also PIG, FDM and other abbreviations used for our players. I expect Uwe will be BBBKID or something similar soon (Big Beautiful Blonde Kraut In Defence)

Agreed. There are so many more worthwhile things to be sad or pissed off about in the world.

To be fair it's not language really. English just isn't all that phonetic so you get your 'a' and your 'ay'. It's largely guess work when you come across a word you've never seen before and AMEX isn't really a real word so understandable some would guess at Aymex. Why they would keep calling it the Aymex after they've been told though I don't know.

He's the BFG - Big Fkun German......

 

[Bolton va va]

With Indian owners, Blackburn's ground is Bollewood, & after their money problems, Bury are " the Bucket Shakers". The nights just fly by.

[Whitechapel]

Anybody over the age of 14 who uses these names seriously needs to have their hard-drive checked for indecent images as they're obviously wrong in the head. The pinnacle of their shitness is close between Millsmall & Manure. Jesus Wept.

Censoring your rivals names is almost as bad. Oh, we're rivals with "P*lace" are we? How clever of you.

I've only ever heard the term "Mansex Stadium"* used when I've been at " Smellhurst Park"*

* as bad as Citeh/Citeigh IMHO; just to keep the thread on track.

 

[Eggman]

Port FAIL

 

[Bry Nylon]

I agree with the OP. I hate all of these and they always make me die a little bit inside whenever I hear or read one.

The only one I ever liked was Billy Connelly saying that for the first ten years of his life he thought there was a club called "Partick Thistle Nil"

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Wow, we're really missing a midweek game!
Who really cares if we use a derogatory name for a rivals team or ground, who can honestly say that they really, really care if such names are aimed at us? If no one is harmed with these name callings just get on with your life

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

OGH - now who the hell came up with that?

Stains
Bournmuff
Baadiff
Joke Shitty
Cheaterfield
Wet Sham


All of them, toilet humour for the u14's Shirley?

 

[Barham's tash]

Chavski is my particular bette noir atm.
