20 Words That Mean Something Totally Different To Newcastle Fans

12. Strawberry

What It Usually Means: A small fruit, confused as a berry by everyone with enough of a life to not know they're actually an accessory fruit and not a true berry. What It Means To Us: Mecca. The pub standing proudly in the shadow of St. James' Park that is as cherished by some of the fans as much as the stadium itself.

11. Hatem Ben Arfa

What It Usually Means: A formerly mercurial talent, capable of great individual feats of skill, but frustratingly prone to inconsistency and laziness. Probably best for everyone if he's not at Newcastle any more. What It Means To Us: Marmite personified. Depending on which side of the divide you sit on, he's either a morbidly obese, lazy Frenchman with very little interest in anything that might help his team-mates or manager, or the greatest player ever to play for Newcastle United. There is no middle ground.

10. A Rumour

What It Usually Means: Something unsubstantiated, which more often than not turns out to be a mix of spurious conjecture and flat-out horse-sh*t. What It Means To Us: Absolute, concrete fact. No matter how outrageous the rumour - the purchase of NUFC by Vince McMahon, the signing of any number of world class players, the second coming of Christ - if it's on the NUFC hashtag on Twitter, or featured in the Newcastle Chronicle, it is reason to put your house on the fact that the subject is definitely happening. And when it doesn't, regardless of the source, it's reason to question the ambitions of everyone involved, but never the credentials of the source.
