20 Words That Mean Something Totally Different To Newcastle Fans

15. Offside

What It Usually Means: A complex rule in football defining acceptable starting positions for attackers in relation to the relative position of defenders and goalkeeper, much complicated by new thoughts on active/non-active play. The primary rule linesmen look after, and ironically the one they seem least able to judge. What It Means To Us: Where Papiss Cisse stands.

14. "Footballing Reasons"

What It Usually Means: What gifted footballers suggest is the reason behind their departure for greener pastures - occasionally with the added kicker of "silverware" or "European football". What It Means To Us: Dirty cash. A bigger payday. A nice signing on fee. (See also: Loic Remy).

13. A Horse

What It Usually Means: A four legged animal, frequently used for racing or policing purposes, particularly when large numbers of football fans amass. What It Means To Us: For one man, the reason Newcastle lost 3-0 at home to Sunderland. For everyone else, the reason for the biggest public embarrassment of the club since Freddie Shepherd agreed to an "off-the-record" conversation about Newcastle's female inhabitants.
