pap Posted 16 February, 2015 Share Posted 16 February, 2015 Another kebab-related one. I'm not very cultured. "Bedford Place Breakfast", the glistening pavement-based delicacy which can be found glowing on the streets of Southampton in the early hours of the morning. Also applicable to food that looks like it might have had a similar origin:- "Call that an omelette, mum? I'm not eating that. It's more like a Bedford Place Breakfast. Are McDonalds still doing their brekkie menu? I'm fúcking loaded for pony". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 18 February, 2015 Share Posted 18 February, 2015 Haha that made me smile. When I was a kid (pre M3 days) on the A34 just north of Winchester there was a massive road sign that just said. "A34 The North" and my dad would say we were just about to leave the glorious south of England so I always thought that's where the north of England started. So this map is pretty accurate! (also always remember the huge sign next to the railway line near basingstoke on the way back to Soton that proudly boasted "You are now entering Strongs Country". (note for the younger generation - Strongs was a half decent beer (IE better than Brickwoods!) before it was bought by shytebreads Happy memories of returning home from London matches as a young whipper snapper by train, knowing that you were nearly home, after many a hairy moment at Waterloo Station avoiding the punch ups between rival fans. Ref the map, Winchester has always been my rule of thumb as to where The North starts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anymore football slang terms come to mind let me know. Not seen it used on here, but in The Echo Saints section, many people used the term "S****s" as an adjective for Portsmuff fans. The "Sk" bit is from "Skates" ... the rest I'll let your imagination work that out. Presumably you know that Skates was a term of affecrtion used for Portsmuff fans?

The9 Posted 18 February, 2015 Share Posted 18 February, 2015 That reminds me of "I cacked my pants" don't think of ever heard that outside of Southampton (though that could be because it's such an awful phrase!) I spent my entire childhood in south wales and "cack" meaning "poo" was in widespread use from the late 80s. "Cackers" (basically meaning pikey/wurzel/bumpkins) was first heard by me from a Wiltshire-raised Southampton Uni friend in 1991 in halls at Wessex Lane.

The9 Posted 18 February, 2015 Share Posted 18 February, 2015 (edited) ...is just about the only one on here that fits the criteria outlined by SC below.... And "budgie", as mentioned earlier, which came from the swear filter on Saints Forever replacing the "c" word with the word budgie, leading to people adopting budgie as a proper swear. It's rare to see it these days, but I saw it the other week on here. It's a good ten years old now. Just thought of another one from SaintsForever: 28_F - meant "to be fair", though I'm not sure anyone's actually put that on a Saints Forum before, it used to be an in-joke on the forerunner of the Muppet Show where Cabbage Face, Crab Lungs, Squibby, ColinT and Ormergod used to basically communicate in idiocy with each other, whilst occasionally rampaging en masse through other web forums (notably Bushcraft). Old school forum name abbreviations: TSW - (The) SaintsWeb SWF - SaintsWeb Forum S4E - Saints Forever Some of it is slang, some isn't.

Haha yes I am aware of that saying and its postive connotations towards portsmuth fans;) I must stress to everyone that whilst this is a study on slang used in this forum, it doesn't have to be specific to this forum if that makes sense. It can be the most standard, cliched term ever in footballing history just if its used on here then I can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 19 February, 2015 Share Posted 19 February, 2015 Also bear in mind that nationally used words can have a different local meaning. e.g. Northerner I grew up believing that the Midlands started and Winchester, the North started at the M4.

The9 Posted 20 February, 2015 Share Posted 20 February, 2015 I've just thought of a few more... "Henry signs for Chelsea" accompanied by the picture of Peter Kenyon with the vacuum cleaner, which started off as a vaguely funny joke but eventually came to mean "that transfer rumour has been posted loads of times before". "Has Skacel signed yet?", generally used on long, drawn out transfer deals to indicate either impatience, mocking others' impatience, or just a criminal lack of originality. "Sauce" or "HP" or "ketchup" or any other derivative of it to mean "who told you that rumour?", i.e. "source". Turkish in particular is fond of "and they said man would never walk on the moon", to signify when it looks like someone is being over enthusiastic with their predictions of the club's development (usually related to stadium size). "Monkey chicken petting zoo" is a phrase with origin in the failed takeover of Bournemouth when they were in administration and the brilliantlly funny drawing of the supposed plans for the area surrounding the ground (including said zoo). Became Saints-related due to the same lot being involved in some tyre-kicking around Saints at one point. "Meltdown" is now mockingly used to represent any overreaction to anything, as well as ironically whenever Saints do something well, based on the 2014 Summer when Saints sold half the team. There are also pictorial ones, the pic of Bill Murray in Groundhog Day is fairly self-explanatory. And the nutjob thread likes to trot out the picture of the woman on the mobility scooter in front of Fratton and the Skates on the bubble bus in front of the "Britain's greatest comedy" ad.

The9 Posted 6 March, 2015 Share Posted 6 March, 2015 Mongboard, for all low-intellect forums. Now politically corrected to m-board by its creator. See also m-boarders for forum users. I'd be pushing it to claim that KEN~!!! ever meant Kenwyne Jones to anyone other than me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
