It’s a phrase I have only ever heard used on blue moon. Something I have never heard at the Etihad or Maine road.

Crappy slapper
So many examples could be used. If we got relegated they'd be happy as long as we didn't finish bottom.Genuine question. Can someone explain to me what a happy clapper is by definition and why they are hated so much by some of our, let's say, more "cynical" posters?

Glass half full person vs glass half empty.
The half empty ones are far more vocal and critical. In all walks of life.

Yeh I suppose that's very true. And it seems, especially on here, that certain peoples views are gospel and must not be challenged or else.Glass half full person vs glass half empty.

Originally referred to evangelical Christians, but now the term seems to be used to denote anyone who is unwilling to be critical of a situation when the evidence suggests they should be. Clappers are not flappers and vice versa.
Thanks for that. Well I'm no evangelical Christian that's for sure, and if you heard what I was shouting at Walker tonight I don't think I'd be called a happy clapper, but I'll always back the lads and stick up for them whatever. So I don't know what I am hahaOriginally referred to evangelical Christians, but now the term seems to be used to denote anyone who is unwilling to be critical of a situation when the evidence suggests they should be.
