Other names for hibs fans.

Mate of mine that knows a jambo..says he refers to hibs fans as LEITHIOPIANS.haha

[Pretty Boy]

It's slightly more inventive than 'vermin' I suppose. Quite clever by Hearts standards.

[BILLYHIBS]

Mental Hibees!

[silverhibee]

The Hivs, from the west coast mobs.

Are there any older nicknames for us that have died with time? I learn the other day for example that Brighton used to be nicknamed the Dolphins. I know we had the Bhoys right at the start of our existence, but would be interested if there were any in the 30s-70s that haven't stuck.

Our pet yam says everyone from leith is a beggar which is ironic given how much money he owes and how often he swerves buying a round.

I'd rather be a beggar than a thief seems to hit the spot.

When Mike Parry was on Talksport he was discussing Andy Murray’s support of HFC. Alan Brazil was not so sure he was Hibs but Parry put him right
“ Andy is definitely a Hibs fan , yes he is a Heebie Jeebie no
doubt “ Parry slavered.

Heard it many times, maybe I was in your class?:wink:

A common nickname for Hibs used by Hearts fans up to the 50's/60's: "The Immigrants".

[Robinho08]

Spoonburners.

Always thought it was a bit pot and kettle when Sevco fans call us that.

[Ronniekirk]

Spoonburners.

Still hear that phrase being used by opposition fans They must think
Trainspotting is still an accurate representation of a large section of the Hibs support

[The Modfather]

Daytrippers :devil:

They would know best after having had their heads knocked in on their own patch by Hibs youth during the 90s and then, having failed to learn, had their bank accounts emptied by them recently.
Thick orange weedgie *******s that they are.

Not just you.

My father used to talk about going to see the 'Jam Tarts' one Saturday and the 'Pen Nibs' the next.

Any nickname used by Hearts fans that is basically along the lines of "ha ha they're poor and/or drug abusers" is pathetic, especially in this day and age. Reeks of faux-elitism and pompousness, which in itself is ridiculous when you consider many of the areas around Tynecastle are deprived. Deriding someone for being less fortunate is desperate and has no place in a civilised society, yet that makes up the majority of their nicknames for us.

[oldbutdim]

Quite like the 'Spoonburner' one.
Sounds quite cool.

I may get that on a t-shirt.

Couldn't agree more :aok:

Seems to be a competition over there to use the most derogatory adjectives in any post about us.

Apparently we're also Soup Takers to some Celtc fans.

I personally don't even like Soup, but there you go.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

The cabbage (or is this more a nickname for the team?)

There’s an older Jambo that I know who insists on calling us the hobos

He owns plenty cardigans but his rover is long gone

What an odd thread

Lets call ourselves every horrible name under the sun and see who can top it :confused:

Might have been Soap and it was meant to be an insult?

[hibbyfraelibby]

Kickboakers seem to like refering to us a Lochenders when not calling us vermin. Not sure what they think is derogatory about Lochend as its miles better than Wester Hailes, or the areas around that reekie distillery just up the road from Dalry

I've had to bin Aldi since they had pegs on sale - on SALE mind you! - in their weekly aisle during the summer. That's just ripping out of local traders by the Germans.

Hiding nothing but humour it seems.

[Bostonhibby]

I don't have anything else in the house to use after investing everything I've got in them following investment tips on here.

Mouths all splinters and am permanently covered in soup stains.
