What should we call them?

[Austinho]

Now that we've agreed on another thread that Tynecastle should be renamed The Begging Bowl, what should our universal pet name be for those over the road?

I've always found the term Yam pretty cringeworthy, and would happily never read it on here again. Merrick and G*nts aren't much better IMO. With so much ammunition, we can do better I reckon.

For starters:

Sc*mbos
The Scam-bos
Handout of Midlothian
The Blooded Turds
The Used Tampons
Heart of Midtable
Heart of Mismanagment
Heart Throbbers (or just the Throbbers)
The In-famous
The Tynie Cocks
Gorgierrhea
The Gorgoyles
The Front Bottoms
The Ham Wallets
The Empty Wallets

Yams? What's not to like? Misshapen maroon coloured vegetables. Been calling them that since I was a youth.

To be fair an assortment of disparaging names is perfectly acceptable and I won't cringe at any.

Was it not because someone decided that we should stop calling them jam tarts because they were to tasty so he decided "yam" would be more appropriate?

Yams has to remain - at least on .net - as a legitimate term along with others if only because to abandon it would lose us the magnificent LTYF (Launch This Yam Fud).

I can confirm from personal experience that 'Poppy Thieves' does indeed drive them absolutely foaming-mouthed nuts. Principally, I think, because they know that is true and irrefutable.

Ah “LTYF”.. definitely more cringeworthy than the term “yam”. In fact, even more cringeworthy is all this “cringe” caused by football nicknames :)

As for where “yam” came from. Someone told me years back it’s simply derived from the rhyming.. hearts, jam tarts, yams. I’d never challenged the idea until now...

[Onceinawhile]

I thought it was because yams are maroon turnips?
Either way I've never heard it used in real life.

Not so much about names but I've noticed Hearts fans have a real obsession about location when it comes to Hibs. I always hear references to us being 'fae Pilrig', 'Lochenders' and who could forget the utter cringe of the rugby chap trying to be one of the boys with his 'docksiders' fail that they all loved?

It's about as insulting as us calling them 'Stenhousers' or 'brewery siders'.

They can't call us the "wee team" anymore so need to resort to stadium location snobbery. Might be wrong but has Leith not had hundreds of millions spent on regeneration over the last decade or so? Gorgie still a hole.

Anyway, its not what you say, its the way that you say it. In the first of the BBC documentaries about the Mercer takeover they interview a very posh Hibs fan ( cant recall his name, but he had QC at the end of it ) he was talking about his lack of surprise that someone had tried to buy the club, but his shock when he found out it was Hearts. The inflection in his voice when he said "Heart of Midlowthian" was as disparaging as any insulting nickname for them I've ever heard :greengrin

A perfectly good name for them.

I recall fondly a trip to Nigeria seven or eight years ago. I was on an internal flight from Kano to Lagos. There was a list of prohibited things on the flight posted at the departure gate and at the top of this list was Yams.

It's historically accurate as they used funds intended for the lady Haig Poppy Fund to prop up their shabby ambitions, and their intention to deprive the fund is self explanatory given that they gave us the evidence in their very own creditors list of shame.

Always thought the ‘Hibees are Gay’ song was a cover up for their own insecurities, given that ‘Hearts’ is probably the least masculine name in world football. Besides QotS perhaps.

Nothing wrong with it of course, but add in their pink stadium, their love-heart shaped badge and the fact they were formed in a dancing club - can’t help but think the whole thing was their way of hiding from something.

It does have quite an impact - nothing more stirs up sheer disgust in a person than when they are made aware of people stealing from charities - I would like to think that there are a good number of the PTs who are ashamed about what went on but a far too uncomfortable a number seem to just gloss over it hence why we don’t let it drop.

Poppy Thieves and Yams. They detest both. Sends them off proper foaming at the mouth.

They hate the first one because they know its true and they can't deny it. I have no idea why the second one annoys them so much.

I tend to use Yams as the stand term in ordinary discussion but then Poppy Thieves for emphasis or a particular occasion - for example making sure that someone unaware of their history is brought properly up to date.

It's actually quite funny that we killed the term 'Hibsed it' by winning the Cup but they can never eradicate Poppy Thieves from their record. it will be there forever.
