Hello! I am a OhWhatABoufalMorning, I'm 21 years of age and as you may have already guessed, probably whilst in the midst of viewing my userboxes, that I am a Southampton supporter and also hail from the city of the same name. I spent three years at college and left at the end of June 2014. Since my college days I have been working as a volunteer at Bursledon Brickworks Museum in Swanwick, Hampshire. I enjoy moderating football related information on Wikipedia, especially when the English grammar which has been adopted by a user(s) is of a very poor standard and also when the current information is in need of an update! I am not going to gloat for you see my English grammar is in no way 'top notch', but having said that I am definitely a keen speller and I must say that I certainly enjoy incorporating colourful sounding words into my vocabulary!

(Portsmouth fans label Saints fans "scummers" and we label them "skates") - see the below text South Coast derby

Portsmouth supporters, and occasionally those of other clubs, refer to Southampton supporters as "scum" or "scummers". According to some Portsmouth fans, the term "scum" developed out of an acronym standing for Southampton City (or Corporation) Union Men, with the term allegedly originating from when Southampton dockyard workers supposedly crossed the picket lines in the 1930s when Portsmouth dockyard workers were on strike. However this story is unlikely, as the two cities rely on entirely different types of ports — Southampton being a merchant port and Portsmouth, a naval one. There is also no known record of any strike occurring during the mentioned time period. Rather, this seems to be a modern attempt to incorrectly describe the origins of the rivalry.

Southampton supporters have taken to referring to their local rivals as "Skates". This is a derisive alternative to "matelot" to describe naval sailors, Portsmouth being the home of the Royal Navy. This term is in fact originally a dismissive one for sailors, possibly originating in Portsmouth, which most Southampton fans have adopted. It was made popular as an abusive term towards Portsmouth fans after a Southampton fanzine asked readers to help search for the term most likely to cause offence to them.
