Thai Nicknames for English & National Teams


Recommended Posts

Posted

My Thai work colleague has been sharing some interesting nicknames that Thais apparently use to refer to English teams which are usually based on club badges. There's a website in Thai that lists them but the thread seems to have disappeared. They are quite logical..

For example: Arsenal - Burng yai (big gun) or burng dtek (broken gun) when they lose.

Tottenham - golden spike chicken

Charlton - hero sword

Coventry - elephant stomp

Crystal Palace - glass castle

Leeds - golden peacock

Derby - steel (metal?) ram.

Man City - blue boat (or sinking boat when they lose)

Middlesboro - red lion

Nottingham Forest - old forest

Sunderland - battleship

West Ham - hammer

Real Madrid - white king

England is 'sinto cam ram' which means 'lion roar'.

Cameroon - ghost leader

South Korea - white ginseng

Holland - turbine orange

Germany - iron eagle or 'beer'.

Columbia - cocaine

France - perfume

Denmark - dairy cattle

Nigeria - emerald eagle

Being an AFC Bournemouth fan, I guess we'll have to get exposure in the Premier League before we get a nickname.

If anyone can add or elaborate on these it'd be great. Can't remember Liverpool's but it's something like 'golden bird' or 'injured bird' when they lose.

I would have thought they would have referred to Tottenham as The Cocks.

'The Cocks' that'd be the collective name for Carmine,Rijit,Smokie & Iancnx...whistling.gif

Edit .I almost forget 'Alfieconn' otherwise known as the 'spur cock'
