Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Snap. Funny you should say that, I was going to ask in the Quick Questions topic what folk shout when their team scores. I do exactly the same as you. Since getting back I translated the word "goal" into German and Spanish and (I may be wrong) it appears they also shout "goal" when they score. I've never once shouted "goal" after a goal. Always a "yaaaaas" from me, well more like "yeeeaaaas" tbh. Bloody foreigners, can't even cheer properly It's been so long that I've forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Always loved the cheer of foreign teams when they score but had no clue what the hell they were cheering when it sounded like 'oooooooow'. Was at a PSG game on Saturday and have since discovered they shout "but" (boooooot) which when translated into English means Goal. A google search years ago would have gave me that information right enough, but it was good to find out at the game You didn't do French at secondary school then? Finding rude sounding French words or translating swear words into French was all we did. Hence "but" appeared on the radar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we do say in France is "ouais" (ouaaaaaaais) which is (pretty much) the translation of "yaaaas". And I am watching PSG v Toulouse just now. No idea what other Europeans say though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'd prefer just going "yaaaaaaaaaas" Pretty much what I do if you replace the a's with e's. Has there been a thread on here asking folk how they celebrate their team scoring? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm...you can expect to see someone chucking up after a hard night in most city centres. Now, taking a shite in a hopper full of Metros? That just screams Glasgow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
