    What should we call them?

    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

    'Handout of Midlothian' - I like that one, very fitting !

    Failing that, what about some Gaelic - 'Dhunna-nash-wi-the-Charity-cash' ??

    Yam is perfect.

    No reason we can't have several others though!

    Can barely remember anyone calling them yams other than on here. "Them" is my preferred option.

    Never called them Yams, never will. It's a **** wind up name.

    Any on that list is preferable.

    Edit: Poppy thieves I like.

    I call them Hearts or the Jambos.

    I find anything else a bit infantile, but feel free to fill your boots etc.

    Glad it's not just me.
    I do often front-load it with an expletive, though...

    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.

    Puddle drinkers.

    I have never heard any Hibs fan in "real life" describe them as Yams. I don't get that one at all.

    It's a family forum, mate. If we used the terminology of day to day life, it would only appear on here as *****, ***** and *****

    I prefer to keep them built up and always refer to them as the big team.
