Utah Owl Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Don't know what the fuss is about, we've been singing it for over 50 years: Oh Wendy Owls, Oh Wendy Owls Oh Wendy Owls go marching in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our younger generation have started using it as well, it's another sign, along with substituting the word "of" for "have" that our education system has gone right down the shítter. Agree with this. To be honest I never use any slurs for rival teams. I always refer to our rivals at S2 as 'United'. As a 36 year old I can't bring myself to be using grunters, pigs, blunts etc. Just seems childish to me. But then again, I a miserable killjoy at the best of times 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'm no fan of the infantile name-calling some seem to revel in, but 'Wendy' has to be the least offensive 'insult' ever. Only 'Weeds' and 'Florist' rival it for inanity and sheer lack of impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 It's the modern way of idle pronunciation. Not even the BBC can be bothered to pronounce their words properly . At one time, the Southerners used to 'Beeb Engish' would often scoff at the 'Northern ' accent. . Now, poorly spoken English is not 'with it'. I was brought up to say -Monday, Tuesday, Wensday, Thursday, Friday, Satday and Sunday, in true Northern style. Now , many words include extra 'r's and 's's . let lone the misuse of the letter 'Aitch'. That great upholder of the English Language , the BBC, is so full of 'foreigners' that, like many traditions is dying out. If people can't be bothered to shout Up the Wensday, please shout Up the OWLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I a miserable killjoy at the best of times The term "Pigs" goes way back to the late 19th century. It's historic, steeped in Sheffield culture and tradition, and far from childish. I'm actually surprised you don't know it's heritage, but then maybe there are many who don't. That's not a dig btw. The one thing I won't sing is "die die piggy", especially to Sharp. Personal choice due to personal circumstances, but I find that tasteless. Edited September 14, 2020 by ChapSmurf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see a reference to that song, I think of that night at the Ricoh Arena when we'd sung it several times to Robert Page (if I remember correctly). And shortly after the game a couple of our fans were killed on the M6. I know the two events were not linked, and the chant is only in jest, but for me it brought into perspective the words being sung. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
