So it stems from them having a really bad period.

truth or not,its still a piss poor word to call them,its weak,it makes me cringe too,i prefer to use the word FILTH.
Filth is just 1 of a thousand general terms of abuse you can legitimately use for anyone. At least rag is specific to united. For me it's not really about the word itself, it's about the venom you put into it. Imagine you're spitting it at them.tonytowers said:truth or not,its still a piss poor word to call them,its weak,it makes me cringe too,i prefer to use the word FILTH.

Howards Dad has a point and it maybe true the other version which goes like this I prefer but each to his own - during WWII - the swamp was bombed - by accident I may add as it was not an intended target - we allowed them to use OUR ground and since their kit was also ruined it the raid we also allowed them to wear our OLD RAGS
