topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 What's that rhyming slang for, then? "Bennets" -> "Bennet Sisters" -> "Genital Blisters" Hence "Doubt its worse than Bennetts TBH " First used by George Whickham in the first edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Omitted from later editions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 You care to explain how it was a sectarian slur? Honkey is a disparaging term for white people. Quite why you've decided to put an M in front of it is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 1/3 of Celtic fans are actually Protestants? Sorry, but I'm calling bullshit on that one. The Glasgow Council report I linked to earlier suggest that the Celtic support at the time was about 3/4 self identified Roman Catholic. 4% self identifying as Protestant. If we assume that "double voddy" in this context refers to people identified by the poster as non Catholic then 2/3 of a bus seems a bit low but not outrageously.It may even be that the overall ratio has balanced out over the years since the council research was undertaken Nonetheless even the low estimate of 2/3 in a country where only 1/6 of the general population are Catholic would still be massively skewed distribution http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=9735 The exact scale of the correlation between religious identity and choice of football team is hard to pin down but the bigger mistake is to confuse causes and affects. By focussing on the proportions of Catholics and Protestant in the Celtic and Rangers support one implicitly assumes that religious identity is being determined by football affiliations. It's surely more plausible to view the causation the other way round and see footballing affiliations being driven by sectarian division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Jockie Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Oh dear.. neanderthal man is alive and well. We are a third ratefootball nation.. and the Great Unwashed are still concerned by such nonsense. For the real world it's not even a subject.

flyingrodent Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 None of my grandparents were religious, except for my nominally Catholic grandfather, who gave not a shit about religion unless there was a free pint in it. On a technicality, we're all Church of Scotland, but I've never set foot in a church unless I was forced to by cub scouts, or by inconsiderate friends for weddings. My mum and dad only go to church for weddings and funerals and I only support Celtic because the only football fan in the family was my Celtic-supporting uncle, who bought me a strip when I was four. And his name is Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
