People who refer to Notts as "County". It's like calling Forest "Nottingham". It's just wrong.

It’s actually like calling Nottingham
Forest, ‘Forest’ innit?? -
Is this a thing? I do it. I didn't realise it was a thing.
-
It’s Cunty anyway.
-
No. Well, kinda, but it's still wrong. This was instilled into me from a young age by my Notts supporting dad.

Similar to Jim, had headphones issues on a busy train from t'North. Crappy eBay charging case didn't work for my earpods and my spare wired one kept randomly pausing the music. Tried to listen to the west ham game but above issues plus shit reception made me cross.

Condolences

Sorry, but I'm not having County fans tell me what I should call their team. They're the nicer half of the East Midlands Cunty/County supporters. But we're the bigger team, always have been, always will be, so we'll decide what they're called. And it is Cunty/County depending on whether they've been around with buckets lately.

You're basically doing the whole "let's call them Notts Forest because it really annoys them" thing that Derby and Leicester fans do.
-
I mean, they literaly chant "Counteh" over and over again, while banging their seats. Is this a not being allowed to say 'mong' unless you are a mong, modern idiom thing?
-
We sing "Nottingham, Nottingham, Nottingham" but people don't call us Nottingham. Not unless they're idiots.
-
Isn't that because the primary use case of 'Nottingham' is for another thing, in the same way that the primary use case of 'notts', in a local sporting context, is for the cricket?
-
Funny you say that.. both of the genuine football fans in the office refer to us as ‘Nottingham’. Are they idiots? Who can say.. but they are definitely Australian.
-
I can say, and I think most of us can, including and especially you. Yes, yes they are.
Australians particularly personify a trait that is common to all predominantly white English speaking countries that I've been to. The ones who have left, whether it be through emigration or just extensively traveling, are mostly very decent people. The ones who haven't are generally thoroughly unpleasant people. Obviously this is purely anecdotal but it's a big enough sample over my 50+ years that I trust it.

A few weeks ago I agreed to go to a gig with a friend tonight. I have no interest in the bands playing and I'm really tired and I really don't want to go, but I have to.
-
Don't they call us 'Notto'?
Where's Toddo these days anyway?
