Gritstone Ram Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have come up with a new song for when we bounce. When you bounce through a storm Hold your head up high And don't all bounce in the dark At the end of a bounce There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark Bounce on through the wind Bounce on through the rain Though your dreams be tossed and bounced Bounce on Bounce on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual meaning makes its use as a pejorative seem ridiculous. It's really hard to have a discussion about swearing with a swear filter in place. If my kid asked me what a banker was, I'd tell him it's one of the bankers who stole all our money. Point proved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The one I wish we just ducked off is the Collymore chant. It's embarrassing, irrelevant, distasteful and offers nothing to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re just words that, unlike racial slurs, have never been used to discriminate against any particular group of people. Its question of standards kid. If you can't hold a conversation without swearing that says a lot about your standards. When you fully grow up and maybe have your own children, you will understand that it is just not nice to subject them to foul language, or maybe you won't.

I'd argue that the noun is the only one that your child would hear in public. If someone uses the verb then they're probably being a dirty bar steward and might as well just say 'masterweight', which isn't a swear word. Anyway, I think we're heading down a rabbit hole here. It's your kid. Agree to disagree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why it isn't considered discriminatory. I also find that word extremely offensive, probably the only one I refuse to say. Unfortunately it’s getting more and more used on a daily basis, I actually asked someone politely at a match a few games ago to stop shouting it out, they did which I appreciated but the same person did it again a couple of games later, the thing is it’s from a 18ish year old lad who just does it because he thinks it’s funny. He got a couple of sniggers around him and he thought he was hilarious and repeated it a couple of times until I asked him to stop. No consideration for children and women or indeed men around him , I don’t even think he realises what it actually means. I’ve been to away games where I’ve been near “fans” who have screamed relentlessly at our own players that they’re “ lazy c’s” or “useless c’s” on several occasions. I have now decided to stop moaning under my breath and actually say something which I did and will continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawley_ram Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 For me Steve Bloomer's Watching always wins it just based on lyrics, melody, loudness, etc. The bounce is great and on Sunday it felt like everyone was coming together best all season, but I always feel a bit uncomfortable with the swearing in it... I go along with it but automatically flinch if my dad is there as I'd have my mouth washed out for saying it as a kid! Then again when we score all that goes out the window as we sit so close to the away end ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, if there is a club that originated the bounce in England I think WBA would have a claim (though no doubt someone from the Wendies would then pipe in saying they did it first). They have never bounced! In fact, I'd imagine they'd be offended if you said they had. They Boing... and are proud of it! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 As I’m with my daughter who’s 7 in the North Stand. I will replace the F word with “do the” and will try and restrain from swearing during the match. But if the ref gives them a dodgy penalty I promise nothing...

TuffLuff Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 “AND ITS IIIIIIIII OOOOOOOOOOOOOO Derby COUNTY!!!” Will be the only chant I ever get involved with. I’d like to hear it at Pride Park please. Probably a Wednesday song, but they claim everything else so we might as well take this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
