St Lej Posted 3 September, 2013 Share Posted 3 September, 2013 What kind of saints fan is this? Serious question. I often here Alpine banging on about all The Über **** Swinger fans on here. Are these a progression of the so-called happy clappy brigade? Or just a new brand of boastful super fan who knows everything and prophesies his/her commitment to all things Saints.

alpine_saint Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 I occasionally refer to the "ÜberFan". This is a fan that comes on here and feels empowered to either : 1. Judge how others support the team, and find them lacking/wanting/inferior to their own self-satisifed conduct. 2. Actively tells others how they should support the team. I also have on much more seldom occasion, refered to "**** swinging". This is when someone judges to be better than another poster on an issue of absolute trivia, such as attendance record, ITKness, etc. The idea is that it is as pathetic, irrelevant, childish and uninteresting as swinging your knob about and claiming it to be the biggest. I dont recall combining the two metaphors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now go and get your currant buns out of the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
