Is the term auNeck acceptable?

  • Many times I find it difficult to express myself properly, when communicating with auburn fans, by using the term auburn Man or auburn Gentleman from The Plains or Most Munificent Plains Tiger or Honorable War Eagler like all auburn fans prefer and sometimes demand to be labeled.

    I feel that slang terms express much more sincere and heartfelt emotion when passionately discussing pressing matters such as college football.

    Terms like Bammer and stupid Bammer and Gump, etc... are just some examples of the type of slang terms I am talking about. Bama fans always take these names in good spirit and are usually very gracious about not making a big deal out of them and it doesn't really seem to bother most of them.

    But, over the years, I have used the term auNeck to describe the fans of auburn on a couple of different boards and they always seem to loudly screech and whine and claim it's just too harsh and mean and just plain stupid and they simply will not put up with it.

    And, I don't even use the term in a negative manner, just as auNecks don't use the term stupid Bammer in a negative way. For instance, I may greet an auNeck with a phrase like:

    Good Morning, auNeck,

    or,

    Hi there, auNeck, your team seems to be doing really good this season,

    or,

    I really admire the orange and blue uniforms of the auNecks, auNeck, etc...

    You know, nothing mean or anything. So, just wanted to know before all the auNecks start acting all auNecky about the term if it's okay to use?

    That's cool of you, RagingBull. Most auNecks get all crazy acting and really, really self-righteous when I use the term. That's kind of why I was making sure it was okay to use. You aren't like that and that tells me you are an auNeck of high character.

    Good luck this season.

    Who? I'm not sure what you are talking about but, this post was just a general topic I started to get a feel for determining if nicknames were acceptable for all fanbases here on 24/7. I am new here, 'ya know.

    Here we go. Would putting a capital B on bammer make it any better or any worse? You auNecks are silly sometimes.

    Listen, I respect the auNecks as a very strong SEC team over the course of history and respect the team and the auNeck fans immensely.

    Please don't attempt to turn this simple inquiry thread into some type of sordid auNeckery exercise in double talking trickery.

    Cowhumpers is bit too sexualized and not very appropriate for many circumstances. I respect them a bit too much to call them that. They are and have always been an honored opponent.

    I'm not in the clique around here, as I have been actively posting only a short time, so I really have no idea what you are talking about. Is it something that is exclusive to 24/7 that you imagine everyone knows about or was it something in football news lately?

    Anyway, so you prefer cowhumpers? I would think most auNecks would not like that very much.

    I think it does; it has a little pizazz.

    In fact, it's kind of like your username, aumagorpain. The au (I notice yours is lower-case also) represents the auburn portion of the description. The Neck part is just a general catch-all meant to represent rednecks.

    You know, nothing horrible and just a play on rednecks. Nothing really wrong with rednecks that I know of.

    Put 'em together and you have auNecks®. Cowhumpers and Barners are so outdated and have been used to death.

    Its also ironic since most Auburn people are from or live in the burbs.

    Good morning, auNeck. I have heard that Dyer is back up in 'dem newz today and in court and telling all about how he supplied the weapons to his auNeck 'mates to assist them in robbing that innocent family with 3 children in Opelika.
