The term 'Hun' is deemed not offensive
There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

I was never offended by it in the first place but it's handy to know

Love the bit where it said some respondents thought hun was just an abbreviation for " honey ".
Maybe in " get it right up you honey ! " well perhaps not.

Tough on the Huns but how did the prats doing the survey differentiate the offensiveness between 'Jock' and 'Taffy'?

Strange, have always found every Hun offensive in every context.

I thought hun was a derogatory term for a Protestant? Or have people stopped pretending that's the case now?

The Huns hate to be called Huns. Probably why everyone continues to call them the Huns.

Pretty much confirms what everyone already knew. The huns trying to claim it as bigotry is simply a pathetic attempt to tar everyone else with the same brush as them.
Nice try ya tramps

"seen as less acceptable by those familiar with the history and use of the term as a sectarian insult"
Seen as less acceptable by Huns, basically.

Shame. After a lot of practice I had just perfected the " Go home, ya stills, go home, ya stills, go home, ya stills, go home " routine. That's all wasted now.

It seems they've just questioned 248 random UK citizens. Gingers, Scots etc. are a minority, so I don't think it really paints an accurate picture of what is/isn't offensive.

For whatever reason Nil by Mouth indulged the huns (see what I did there) and listed it as sectarian. I think it's all part of the charade in Scottish football where we have to pretend the sectarian issue extends further than the big Glasgow clubs.

It's not sectarian, like many argue. But it is offensive to be fair - as most names are.
I imagine the response from West is along the lines of "how dare those jakey spoonburning hobos call us "huns" - don't those f***** b******* know it's no very nice but"Mon the Hibs.

It's offensive in a mild sense. The whole point of using the word is to upset The Rangers - they hate it - but it isn't sectarian/racist. If it's a religious slur, as they claim, why do hundreds of thousands of Scottish football fans who are themselves Protestant use the word to describe The Rangers? I always think of the barbaric tribe of yore; Rangers fans being the modern equivalent

I always thought they got the name Hun from their support of the Hanoverian or German line of succession as opposed to the Jacobean line who lost in 1690.
No matter, it sums them up pretty well, even if its a bit insulting to the original Huns.
