The Rough Guide To.... HHH-Speak

Unable to decipher Serbo-Croat? Don't know your TBCINL from your TANLF? Here, completely gratis (and free of charge), is the indispensable HHH Guide.

The Teams and their Fan :

Dorchester Town: Dorkchester or The Maggots.
Dover Athletic: Dover; well they are just boring.
Forest Green Rovers: Forest Gump.
Hayes: 'Ayes or The Missioners.

Southport: Scouseport or (The) 'Port or The Sandgrinders.
Stevenage Borough: DCB (Dirty Cheating B*st*rds) or Cheatenage or Satanage or OGO (Obese Gut Overhang) [but less relevant since the departure of Fatboy Fat].
Surrey Teams: Surrey Slurry, which can be used interchangeably for any team from Four-wheel Drive Land.
Surrey's lowest placed side: WTIS (Worst Team In Slurry); another moveable feast.
Sutton United: Slutton or (The) U's.
Telford United: The *ucks.
Welling: GDWTW (Going Down With The Welling) which can be shortened to GDWs (Going Down Withs) or, when they lose in a cup, GOWTW (Going Out With The Welling) or The Wings because we rather like them really.
Weymouth: Why?mouth or Seaside Slime/Scum or (The) Terrables. If stuck with allocating any general abuse in a HHH review to a particular team just presume it refers to Why?mouth, and you'll be correct more often than not.
Woking: The Cards, which is what they call themselves; and that's good enough for us.
Yeovil Town: MGAW (Mighty Green And Whites), and we are!

The Grounds.

Keys Park: Skis Parky. It's cold in them thar hills.
Nene Park: Need Park, because they've hardly got two pennies, the poor things.
