Mmm ... it'll have to be an especially cold day in hell before I take advice from someone who can't spell "lighten."

I believe Bristol City are referred to as the Slave Traders by some Swindon fans, displaying an impressive knowledge of British social history.

They've been called the Bin Dippers ever since the "In Your Liverpool Slums" became a terrace favourite up and down the country.
That explains the last line of the below song a Weds fan taught me (I taught him the P-A-L Coppell VD song in return)
Neil Warnock's Illegitimate
He ain't got no birth certificate
He's got AIDS and he can't get rid of it
He's a piggy bastard
Definitely these. I think Nigels is a the best of a bad bunch though, but it would be nice to think of something better. Mad Frank (rip) used to make me cringe with some of his terminology. West Pork!
The best I've heard are the Dingles (used for Wolves and Barnsley by local rivals) and the bin-dippers (Liverpool). The ones used for Palace are dreadful, especially when their 'weed one is much more effective.

Hmmm.
City call United Rags, and sometimes Munichs, but that's rare, I've only heard that once or twice.
United call City Bitters and Liverpool Murderers, but again, that would be rare.
Everyone is friendly up here these days, no need for bad language.
Liverpool / Everton ... red shite / Blue shite
Blackburn / Burnley ... Bastards / Dingles
Has anyone mentioned that Palace call us Seaweed, and that's oooold, not like our rubbish ones.
I have heard people call Huddersfield Town Dog Botherers

Liverpool call Everton The Sock Robbers
"Monkey hanger" is a term by which Hartlepool are known.
According to local folklore, the term originates from an incident in which a monkey was hanged in Hartlepool. During the Napoleonic wars, a French ship of the type chasse marée was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, allegedly wearing a French uniform to provide amusement for the crew. On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial in the town square; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions, and many locals were unaware of what a Frenchman may look like, they concluded that the monkey was in fact a French sailor. Just to make sure, the animal was thus sentenced to death and hanged in the town square on the Headland.
An alternative theory is a little bit darker though!!
It states that; "Then there are some who point to a much darker interpretation of the yarn. They say that the creature that was hanged might not have been a monkey at all; it could have been a young boy. After all, the term powder-monkey was commonly used in those times for the children employed on warships to prime the cannon with gunpowder."
