this_is_my_story Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 That's right, "sister fisting", "aids ridden", "peg selling", "*****" "gayboys" just reeks of quality. Those terms don't have to 'reek of quality'. They just have to reek of the truth, which in this case, they most certainly do. Hope this helps.

Deevers Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Maybe it's because most of the retards have speech impediments which limits their vocal abilities.

Guest GhostHunter Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I find it extremely laughable, not to mention childish that every thread that is about us "Yams" is highlighted in the thread title as [YAMS] Or....all Hearts fans are singled out on their board and their user titles and signatures are changed to block "funnies". That's discrimination IMO and should be stamped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamTarts1874 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Cos we're in Europe more often than them they feel the need to pronounce the J like Y, like in Spain then shortening yambos to yams. Either that or Its because they dont have teeth so struggle with the J so just say Y. I nearly spat out the water I was drinking when I read your last sentence. LOL!

jamtartsandbees Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's patently obvious chaps, see the picture below. Rather sad but the inferiority complex has reached such a stage down Leith way, that an urban legend has evolved about the size of the average hearts supporters equipment. It is a well known fact that all the hibees are gay, and although not publicly known respect is earned throughout there underground social structure based entirely on "how much Yam" an individual is able to take. Although they all dream of taking a real yam, non are deluded enough to believe that they are placed high enough in social ranking for this to ever happen. Instead they have to rely on shop bought alternatives to prove their prowess. these are usually purchased from oriental supermarkets together with industrial size buckets of axle grease.

DuffJimmy1875 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Yammer Given the near perfect definition of Hearts fans that is the verb "to yammer", I'd like to propose that a "yam" is merely a shortened version of a "yammerer" Although the aforementioned and slightly illogical, Jambos - Jam Tarts - Jam - Yam idea is probably closer to the truth. That said, what's the derivation that leads from Hibbee to "Hobo" apart from the fact they both share the same 1st letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this clarifies things mate. Well yes, I know what the word Hobo means on its own, I was just wondering if some comic genius had somehow found a way of getting from the term "Hibbees" to "a Hobo" in stages by modifying the words a la "Jambos > Yams" or if - as I suspect is more likely - the cracking idea that all Hibs fans dwell in caravans, bang their own sister and sell pegs for a living gave rise to the "Hobo" nickname as opposed to it being anything to do with the actual word "Hibbees" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaders uncle Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 My unfortunate pal who is a hibee ****bag said that he heard that it is because a Yam is a boring vegetable and that the Hearts are boring, mind you he was dribbling his pureed fruit down his chin at the time as his carer was not in the room.

bigis semiauskas Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Exactly what do the inferior mob mean by referring to us as yams?Rhyming slang? even that seems nonsensical. Sweet potato is the definition on google. So can anyone come up with a sensible answer to this...even Hobos can reply! To me it means nothing at all tbh,but I may be missing something:o I think we should turn this around and call them a Yam Fud, because this little Hobo bawbag at work has been moaning and shouting awe week,'You Ars* Mixu, Fuc*ed Up Derby day again like awe the other managers.

I already explained the origin of the 'hobo' word. It came from a spell-checker which did not understand the word 'hibs' and suggested 'hobo' as the correct spelling. That it was so appropriate was simply the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine Scottish Wine Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hobos came from the kickback spell checker, when you typed in Hibees it did not recognise the word and used to give you Hobo as an alternative. It no longer does this though so may be wrong. I am sure the Yams thing happened in a similar way on .net Gizmo seems to have a similar memory so maybe my grey matter is still working.

WASTREL Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ive never heard anyone in real life use it to describe Hearts, just on the internet. A lot of mates have Season Tickets down there and have used that expression for years towards me during the "banter". Just thought it was the hobos bit of slang.
