Martin_T Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I appreciate the irony of me posting the following on 'Jambos Kickback', but is it just me that has a strong dislike of HMFC being referred to, particularly in the tabloid press as 'Jambos'? In my opinion it almosts sounds like a derogatory term akin to referring to Rangers as 'huns' or Hibs as 'hobos'. Whenever anyone asks me who I support I always tell them I am a Hearts supporter, not a Jambo and the team I follow is Heart of Midlothian FC not the Jambos.

I don't see how Jam Tarts is any better than Jambos tbh. I always say I'm a Hearts fan if asked as I don't use our Sunday name very often. I don't think JKB is solely, or even mainly, responsible for its continued usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbinho Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Jam Tarts sounds horrible, Nothing wrong with us being called the Jambos and anyone who has that much spare time and sad enough to actually get worked up over papers calling us jambos needs to sort himself out.

So that's two people on this thread who have both chosen to get personal. I posted a Hearts related topic on a Hearts message board.

To t4ell the truth, it does'nt bother me too much. It beats 'Hearts Bar steward' any day, which is the norm in 'Sheepshire' I'd rather be a Hearts Fan called a 'JAMBO' than an Aberdeen Fan called a 'Sheep Shakker (sp?) any day.

BlackJAC? Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Don't mind the term 'Jambo'. I also don't agree that it's used in the same manner as 'huns'. I'd say it's akin to calling Rangers 'The Gers' or 'Bears'. Nothing derogatory about it whatsoever. Edit: i can't write for **** today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Harris Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Forgetting the previous post but i did bring this topic up a few weeks ago. Everyone is entitled to their opinion (really?) but i make a strong case for the word "jambo" to be banished. I absolutely despise the term and much prefer the simple nickname Hearts. HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN THE HEARTS JAM TARTS. I would assume the fans on here who like the term jambo are the "Johnny Come Lately" fans (new breed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I P Knightley Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Time to get my post count up, yeah I hate it too. Slight contradiction there between the post and the username, no? I don't mind a bit of rhyming slang once in a while. Don't think it can be compared to "Hobo" or "Hun" both of which are clearly derogatory. And "Sheep" too. When asked, I "support (the) Hearts" but there are far more things going on in the world to be upset about for me to worry about "Jambos". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I always feel that Jambos is a collective term. I refer to myself as a Hearts fan, but would refer to a group of Hearts fans as Jambos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
