craig 5,199 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Templeton would have been a good buy in the SPL, cant see him joining us in Div 3. On his day he is a wing wizard! He tore Whittaker a new one at Ibrox on opening day of last season. Really looked the part. Would take him in a heartbeat ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,255 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Fink! At last, a player whose name I recognise. dB, what does the word 'fink' mean? Pictures tell more than a thousand words .... or so they say! Otherwise, wikipedia can be your friend. NB: Generally, it refers to the bird. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'll be damned, finch! Of course. Obvious when you know, given the similarities between the languages. I wonder why, then, fink became a term of mild abuse in early 20th century America? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon 1,113 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'll be damned, finch! Of course. Obvious when you know, given the similarities between the languages. I wonder why, then, fink became a term of mild abuse in early 20th century America? May be this... The consensus is that it comes from German student slang. Fink here is the German word for finch. In the nineteenth century, students who were not members of a college fraternity were called finks, perhaps because they were considered to be wild birds, uncaged or undomesticated. Later it became modified to refer to somebody poorly regarded, “not one of us”. An alternative German source sometimes suggested lies in one of the insulting slang terms Dreckfink, Schmierfink, or Schmutzfink, all terms for a low, dirty person. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,255 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 BTW ... An alternative German source sometimes suggested lies in one of the insulting slang terms Dreckfink, Schmierfink, or Schmutzfink, all terms for a low, dirty person. With these you usually address 1 to 10 year old kids. But back to the topic. Very quiet on the trialists we had last week. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The World Cup is in 2014, his contract expires then. I doubt we'll see Goian back to be honest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
