Wolves 1 Reading 2 - Verdict Thread

[Alan]

Kuzszack? Great, now I'm tripping over it. There's two Z's, fuck the rest.

Nope, the United lot did. I read it on Red Cafe a few times.

It is slightly :facepalm: but it's easier than spelling his name. Now I consider myself to be a decent speller but I can never remember!

Albion fans came up with it, remember reading it on their forums before he had gone off to Utd

Polish names often have "zcz" in there.

Kuszczak.

Looks like an art student's text exercise.

Ah, you're right then. I had it in my head that he was at Albion after United.

In that case, I'm memorising the fucking spelling.

Kuszczak.

Think you can tag the 's' onto the front of that group too, seems to crop up a lot.

Szczesny, Piszczek, Blaszczykowski.

They're all at it.

It's almost shocking how common "-ski" is in Polish surnames. I can't think of anything like it in any other nationality/ethnicity.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

"-scu" is very common in Romanian surnames.

I'm sure you don't want to spend the afternoon talking about etymology with me though.

 

[Alan]

Better than writing an employee policy handbook.

Course, now they'll track this post and I'll be (wait for it) offski

 

[Parkins left foot]

I'm just going to be friendly & call him Tomasz - easier to spell!

There was a bulgarian world cup squad where virtually the entire 23 ended in 'ov' or 'ev'. It was USA 1994. 22 of the 23. A stray 'ski' spoiled the symmetry.

A quick look on FIFA shows that only two of the Bulgarian players represented in the game don't end in "ov" or "ev". One of those two is a naturalized Brazilian.

Slavic names finish with a possessive suffix.Children take their father's name. A little like Davidson, Johnson, ect. Ov and Ev are the masculine suffixes. Of course, then you have the femine versions too, Ana, Ava, ect.
