WorldChampions1902 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Forget “Hibs’d it”. The term, Dundee United is synonymous with idiocy in Nigeria and has been for decades! A true, but fascinating story in today’s Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/mar/11/the-unlikely-story-of-how-dundee-united-became-an-insult-in-nigeria?fbclid=IwAR1oUX0UmdFtlx7Wu1z1VVZX6cYgZMPyt-QlI1itkptTCmqhr6SjBKFYs1Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Awbdy Oot Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Strange that they would publish that story in today's paper, it was in the Peebles News years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had to check the calendar as it sounded like an April Fool story. First time I’ve read this but you are right, I just googled this and the Guardian also ran the same story a few years ago. Must have been a slow news day yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheBigO Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Wish I'd known this when I lived there! Certainly a few Nigerians now know what a Hibs is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
