Britbillsfan Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 The negativity has been here as long as I've read (since 2002, I think), but has definitely been getting worse the last couple years. I was going to take your poll, but I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be answering " is this normal here?" or "Are you a cranky negative toss-bag." By the way. What the heck is a whinger? A whiner? I've just started seeing this word with a G in it.... 642652[/snapback] You are not used to the word as it usually follows the term 'Bloody Pom .......'. It is possible the term 'Whinging Pom' is the most common descriptive phrase in Oz.
krazykat Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 I dream of being able to go to a Bills game...even if we got thrashed.642468[/snapback] That's good for a game or two if the entire experience is entirely novel to you, then it gets old really, really quickly.

dreadlox Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Hi all, I'm fairly new here & am quickly forming the opinion that a large number(if not a majority) of Bills fans are cranky, negative, opinionated, pessimistic, aggressive, toss-bags with little sense of fun or frivolity who take things way too seriously. I live in Melbourne, Australia & am a huge Bills fan. I was nearly creaming my pants(is that too crude for this forum?) when I discovered The Stadium Wall. Imagine my dismay when within a few days I find myself in arguments over innocuous statements, come across countless people who you would think are from Miami by the way they slag off at everything Bills & generally get the feeling that knocking things is the way to be. Is it just me or is it a case of the 'squeaky wheel'? You guys don't know how great you have it. I dream of being able to go to a Bills game...even if we got thrashed. Please leave me some encouraging thoughts...though I expect by the end of this I will be argued with, slagged off, insulted & generally told that my opinion is rubbish & that 'yours' is the only one worth having. Gee, now look who is the negative one....AAARRRGGGHHH it's catching. Thanks All Well, seems like you pretty much have it . Everything you said is basically true. that being said, welcome to the wall
Pyrate Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Look when the team goes and does something as stupid as releasing Lineback Kellen Brantley you just KNOW we are rebuilding
Dibs Posted March 27, 2006 Author Posted March 27, 2006 Wow, this is great! You certainly have put a smile on my face. I wasn't going to reply yet but I have noticed some confusion in terminologies. O.K.....DIBS' DICTIONARY Whinger..(though I don't think I wrote this one, it is an Aussie expresison) =whiner, complainer Wanker =Masturbator(though not usually in the literal sense. More figurative in regards to what is being said or being done)...also tosser. (therefore) Toss-bag =scrotum or ball-sack Poof/Poofter =Homosexual(literal)...not macho(general) Gridiron =American Football Footy =Australian Rules Football VB =The type of beer that is drunk by Aussies who regularly use the words above. example quote... "Gridiron! That games played by a bunch of poofs, wankers running around in all that padding. We don't have that in Footy. Get us another VB luv." As you can see, being a Football fan over here has it's downside.
slothrop Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) You say "Cranky negative toss-bags" like it is a bad thing. 642628[/snapback] What's a "toss-bag?" Edit: the post above was posted as I was reading - thank you for the education, Toss-Bag. Edited March 27, 2006 by slothrop
X. Benedict Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 What's a "toss-bag?" 642859[/snapback] Better ask the antipodean.
swede316 Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Footy (AFL) may be the gayest sport on the planet, besides cricket that is.
nick in* england Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Footy (AFL) may be the gayest sport on the planet, besides cricket that is. 643060[/snapback] THERE IS NOTHING wrong with Cricket!!! Welcome about my ozzie chum... Get used to the toss bags - it's why I keep coming back
swede316 Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Any sport you have to take a lunch break and takes 5 days to complete...ummm NOOOOOOOOO!!! Talk about boring!!!
X. Benedict Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Any sport you have to take a lunch break and takes 5 days to complete...ummm NOOOOOOOOO!!! Talk about boring!!! 643073[/snapback] There is beer. If they play cricket in Utah that might be a different matter.
swede316 Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 There is beer. If they play cricket in Utah that might be a different matter. Sometimes even the power of beer cannot save something...and Cricket is one of those somethings!
MikeSpeed Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Alot of people like myself are just reading, not posting much because of all the bashing recently. 642679[/snapback] I'm one of the above. One of the biggest problems I see is that people can not agree to disagree with maturity. It has to result in name calling and insulting you mother. Which is sad, because a “good” argument can lead to insight and actually create more exciting topics to be discussed? If you can ignore the aforementioned posts, you'll find that this board can be very knowledgeable. Happy posting.
nick in* england Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Sometimes even the power of beer cannot save something...and Cricket is one of those somethings! 643083[/snapback] Seriously - u need a lesson from me in Cricket... It's the complete sport.
X. Benedict Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Seriously - u need a lesson from me in Cricket... It's the complete sport. 643106[/snapback] And lots of scoring!
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Sometimes even the power of beer cannot save something...and Cricket is one of those somethings! 643083[/snapback] If the game ends and you're no longer drunk, it's not a real sport.
nick in* england Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 If the game ends and you're no longer drunk, it's not a real sport. 643120[/snapback] Hence - cricket is amazing. You are guaranteed to still be drunk - it's at least 4 days of solid drinking. Of course you are all focussed on the Test Match (5 day) version of the game. You are forgetting the One day game and the much much shorter 20/20 version, which lasts no longer than a football game.
rockpile Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I've had my moments over Jack Kemp. Got sick of watching "handoff to OJ" 642540[/snapback] Wasn't that Fergie's job?
