Hot Shot Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Whilst surfing and getting dragged way off on a tangent I can't remember the reason for, I ended up reading a webpage with scots slang words on it , the word Coagie appeared, it's definition was "A working-class resident of Dundee. A supporter of Dundee F.C. " having never heard of it in my life I was wondering if anyone else had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Jag Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) The Coagie Triangle is occasionally used to refer to the football clubs on Tayside (normally the "big" 3, but occasionally using St Johnstone as the West End corner, Dundee as the East End Corner, and the likes of Forfar, Arbroath, Montrose and Brechin as the 3rd corner). Essentially a derogatory term for those non-central belt types whose first experience of transport was a combine harvester and for whom a shower is a rarity.

A supporter of Dundee F.C. " having never heard of it in my life I was wondering if anyone else had? I heard this term used a few years ago but have not heard the word used since. Fairly sure it was on Radio Scotland and most probably "Of the Ball" where I encountered the word and it was definitely being used as a derogatory description of Dundee F.C. Shame it's not in more common use as it sounds like a great insult...............right up there with H*n, tim and gypo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
