Title: Modern footie slang Post by: Munichred on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 09:46:53 Brilliant result. First proper 'limbs' I've been involved in for a while after FBT's thunderbastard!
What does 'limbs' mean?? Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Qunk on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 09:48:55 According to ChatGPT:
In soccer terminology, "limbs" is often used colloquially to describe the enthusiastic and celebratory reactions of players and fans when a goal is scored. When a team scores a goal, players and fans might jump, run, and express their excitement by waving their arms and limbs in exuberance. The term "going limbs" or "going full limbs" is often used to capture the idea of players and fans wildly celebrating by moving their limbs in various directions due to the excitement of a scored goal. This term is more commonly used in informal or social contexts rather than in official match commentary.

The goal isn’t a wall of bins? Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 09:50:22 Never understood early doors 😀
Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 09:50:32 Lots of exited jumping around and waving of arms... strange expression... quite descriptive though I suppose...
In reply to the original post of course... Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: adje on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 09:53:02 Never understood early doors 😀 Me neither. The "doors" bit seems completely superfluous Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 09:54:27 Me neither. The "doors" bit seems completely superfluous Yes very unnecessary! Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: 4D on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 10:53:35 Never understood early doors 😀 Why? Break on through is a decent song. Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 10:59:26 Conversely terms you dont hear in football now.
Putting "swaz" on a shot, or even swerve is rarely used. The Ron Atkinson coined stepover he called the "lollipop". Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 11:04:43 "Man on" :D
Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Munichred on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 12:04:47 Thanks for the info!
I've just been watching the World Cup Semi-final, sat in a Wifi hotspot on a Naturist camp site in Croatia. Although I was extremely pleased that we won, no limbs or other appendages were waved when England scored. No Semi either...

Back in the 1800s sometime people that had paid extra got to go into the theatre before the riff raff (presumably) and this was then known as early doors. Quite why it's used in football/sports parlance is anyone's guess! Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Quagmire on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 12:10:53 Never understood early doors 😀 One of the best sitcoms ever made!

Agreed :clap: Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 14:34:03 Yes very unnecessary! 'Very' is superfluous. Its unnecessary. Title: Re: Modern footie slang Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 14:35:53 Thanks for the info! Best place to see a semi I guess! :flaccid:I've just been watching the World Cup Semi-final, sat in a Wifi hotspot on a Naturist camp site in Croatia.
