I've finally succumbed to signing up to the Oatie again after almost kicking the habit when the old site went down, so near yet so far! ;D
Anyway, for the last 12 months or so I've been referring to Rory's long-throws by the term "thrawner" and was wondering whether this had become a popular term, as I've not heard anyone else using it? (apart from non-Stoke mates who I work with - I live down south).
The word, as you may guess, derives from 'throw-in' & 'corner', and is actually spelt 'throw-rner' (although phonetically pronounced 'th-raw-ner').
I think it's a catchy word to describe our secret weapon, rather than just the boring, 'long throw'.
Thoughts?

I always call it a corow - but I suppose I am approaching it from a different angle.  |

Exactly, how many different words will be thrown around after lots of alchahol has been consumed?
'Good founder'
'Hes a very good frowner'
'I like his quarter pounder!'

Stokelad, My first post in over 12 months is met with one word, 'poor'.  It's not difficult to pronounce; "th" "raw" "ner" Thrawner Surely, "Frawner" is how a cockney would say it? ;D |
