"The Filth", "Scum" And Other Assorted Names

[LordLucifer]

If you speak to an Essendon, Carlton or Collingwood supporter, they will happily refer to the other two teams as 'the filth' or Collingscum, Essenscum or Carltscum. Now surely each of these three teams can't have both names ?? Best of all, they are hardly original or humourous names that are confusing and unimaginitive.

Is it possible to come up with the definitive derogatory name for each team that is accepted by these teams supporters ??

Carlton Board.

 

[Portia]

Surely the names Essendon, Carlton and Collingwood are derogatory enough.

Portscum just doesn't sound the same does it?

 

[Thrawn]

We'll always be Carlscum to Collingwood and Essendon supporters.

Although the word Richscum sounds catchy!

Portscum will never work hotpie because their name is actually Portchokes.

As for what we call Collingwood, well it just varies depending on what part of the season we are in.

For '04:

Start: Colliwobbles -- naturally
Middle (after Anzac): Colliscum
late (just before on just in finals): The Filth

With Carlton at the moment every time we go to say their name we just crack up laughing so not sure what to call them. I'm sure that once they get off the bottom by a quite a number of rungs we will go back to those other names!

 

[LordLucifer]

I just don't think anyone is understanding me here, these names are ordinary and better ones could be found surely ??

I mean why do all three teams get called 'the filth' ?? Isn't there some other names that could be found to differentiate between them all ??

Carlton are the Scum no doubt about that.

Essendon are often called the Bummers, bit childish but could be worked on.

St Kilda are the Aints.

so next year the Saints will be Isses, or the Can do's, you see that will have to change with the next flag
but names like filth and scum stick forever.
albeit unimaginative.

Are you talking about a nickname applied to a club in a generally derogatory sense that that club's supporters don't really mind?

If so, I think Tiger fans are pretty used to being called 'Ninthmond', though I couldn't expect them ever to accept 'Bitchmond'.

I think "Weagles' was originally intended to be derogatory, but nobody there seems to fuss about it too much these days.

Geelong are a bit more used to the term 'handbaggers' nowadays, too. if you ask them how the handbaggers are going they're more likely to answer with how they think Geelong are going, rather than take offence to the terminology.

But anyway, for mine, 'filth' and 'scum' has always been used for umpires, rather than for a club.

Depends where the syllables are.

Well until they start beating us more than once in every 2 years they're going to have to aren't they?

Same goes for Whorethorn.

I prefer to call them $hit Kilda.

He is not quite with us.

"The Skunks" seems to fit Collingwood pretty well.

We should all be grateful that we have such dislike for other teams, imagine living in Adelaide where the only traditional team is Port, the Crows are an amalgam, they should have gone Norwood and Port as the two SA reps

Filth, scum, for a minute there I thought you were on about the Poms.
