been here before Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/tynecastle-tiles The club is delighted to offer Hearts supporters the chance to cement their place in Tynecastle history with their own personalised wall tile. The new initiative will enable Jambos to customise their own engraved message on a ceramic tile to be placed on a concourse vomitory wall. The tiles represent a unique opportunity for Hearts supporters to etch their names, memories or dedications into the fabric of Tynecastle Park. You can choose whether your tile is placed in the Main Stand, Wheatfield Stand or Gorgie Stand. A tile at Tynecastle is the perfect gift for your Hearts supporting friends and family…or as a treat for yourself. Tiles are available to purchase in three sizes: 150mm x 150mm (£50) 100mm x 200mm (£40) 100mm x 300mm (£60) The following character limits apply: 150mm x 150mm: 3 lines of text (14 characters per line) 100mm x 200mm: 3 lines of text (15 characters per line) 100mm x 300mm: 3 lines of text (18 characters per line) The club reserves the right to veto any messages that contain inflammatory remarks. Become a part of Tynecastle! Click here to place your order at Hearts Direct or visit the Hearts Clubstore in the Main Stand at Tynecastle (McLeod Street). Unfortunately, tiles cannot be purchased over the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkmmgcycbwc Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thought vomitory was the horizontal passage way between the stairs as you ascend/descend? From when Romans enjoying a session had to go out and throw up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Nice idea, might get one, but someone in the comms team needs to return to Orwell's rules of writing, especially "Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent" and "Never use a long word where a short one will do". Vomitory is probably a new word for 99.999999% of people reading, including me, or in the English speaking world for that matter! Still a nice idea, the permanence of it makes it pretty well priced.

What is the everyday equivalent? Vomitory, as has been said, is a very specific word relating to a tunnel in a stadium or theatre leading from a seating area to an exit. What other word is there? I can't think of any. Someone in our comms team has a decent vocabulary. I'd imagine that's a plus. (Think there's more comments about the word vomitory on this thread than there is about the tiles but I couldn't help but ask) P.S: I'm definitely going to get one for my old man and I think it's a nice idea. Things like this ensure money keeps getting pumped into the club because us chumps will continue to lap it up.

Its not that unusual. It basic Latin from vimitorium which was an entry/exit to a Roman ampitheatre placed in the searting allowung for quick movement of audiences in and out. Its still used in theatres and the old Gorgie Road end used to have a couple of cracking examples. The plural is vomitoria. Someone stated about an area on a roman staircase where people could be sick. This is wrong, these places never existed.

Things like this ensure money keeps getting pumped into the club because us chumps will continue to lap it up. "Exit", "walkway" or "prominent wall on the way out in x part of stadium" or something. Yeah, not a big deal ? I've never come across it so I'll defer to others as it seems to be an engineering/architectural term. I'm just sad enough to be interested in stuff like that! Using plain English is a very under appreciated thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its that attitude that means words like vomitory will remain unusual for you. Latin, along with ancient greek is everywhere. It is some of the simplest words we use and many other words you know are derived from it. Im presuming you've heard of vomit. Where do you think it ultimately comes from? Its not diffucult to make that leap. Alas though I think perhaps stercorem pro cerebro habes.

While it's always nice to learn new words you'll probably never say or read again, could they not just have said walkway? It's a marketing campaign not an episode of Call my Bluff!
