Nix-NZ-WGTN-F

sheesh... another thing that confuses me lol is whn you guys rib one another and your location might say australia or italy or NZ but have no idea wether you're an aussie in NZ or a kiwi in NZ, or an aussie in oz or kiwi in oz etc

Do I get some points for clarity then?

an aussie with both the good taste to live in NZ and support the NIX and also who can succinctly explain themself gets bonus points for being very rare indeed

Edit - cheers AussieNix - I'd heard the 'clean' version and figured there must be more to it - no-one would get too excited about that.

Ooooh I was there at the genesis of this one.

Manny Muscat became Musky Mancat at training one day when we were being silly. News coined the phrase "Sex Panther" to describe a Musky Mancat. And it (sort of) stuck.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

"The Knitting Circle" or "Flat Earth Society" are a small group of Auckland City Football Club (ACFC) supporters who hate the 'Nix but also can't resist the temptation to continually log on to Yellow Fever and bore us with their narrow-minded views.

Fail.

The term has its origins in the club's player recruitment policy, which were widely seen as "retarded" by fans of rival cubs, and as the Melbourne team has no official mascot, the term "tard" became widely used by football fans Australia-wide.
