The Tigers’ Sky Bet Championship home fixture with Aston Villa on the 31st March 2018 has been brought forward 24-hours. As a result, the game will now take place at the KCOM Stadium on Friday 30th March 2018, with a 3pm kick-off time. The Tigers have agreed to this, to allow fatty Bruce more time to eat his Easter eggs. http://www.hullcitytigers.com/news/...ixture-moved-3732172.aspx#eZ64TsVtSFKfiyET.99
Another one moved... The Tigers' away game against Derby County in September has been selected for live television coverage by Sky Sports. As a result, the game will now be played on Friday 8th September with a 7.45pm kick-off, and not at 3pm on Saturday 9thSeptember as originally scheduled. It means that the following changes have been made to our fixture list since its release just under a fortnight ago: Saturday 5th August: Aston Villa (a) - KO 5.30pm Friday 8th September: Derby County (a) - KO 7.45pm Saturday 27th January: Leeds United (h) - KO 12.30pm Friday 30th March: Aston Villa (h) - KO 3pm
It's a diminutive of his name, not sure what's boring about it? It's like Jak, Elmo, Robbo, Hudd, etc.
It's boring because it's a not very funny joke. Jak, Elmo, Tobbo, Hudz are not also slang words for a dirty woman. It's not pronounced Slut anyway, if it's a nickname, it's Sloot. Good job his name isn't Pedosky.
Calling me a derogatory term is incredibly unnecessary. No one had issue with calling a former German striker a slang for a prostitute. Considering the Slut has laughed it off something tells me he doesn't care.
Ah the beauty of languages, slut in English does mean an easy woman but if you was to say the word to a Russian they would have no idea what you're talking about unless they know English of course. There is of course a word in Russian for an easy woman шлюха which would be pronounced something like shlyuka. Of the others mentioned earlier in the thread who get their name shortened, I can only see Jak causing a minor misunderstanding if he was to be substituted during a game, as in Jak off but he wouldn't get it because his name is pronounced Yakupovich.
Only with the aid of google, there is a town called Slutsk in what is now Belarus which was a Jewish settlement so it seems most likely to mean a person descended from there.
I came on this thread to read about people moaning about already having their hotels and trains booked , not to read all this educational mumbo jumbo
In Russian it's the patronymic (middle name) that tells you who they're a son of, not -ski. That's why they often refer to each other as first name + patronymic, like Slutsky refers to Abramovich as Roman Arkadyevich.
I did say in Slavic languages as a general group thing. I only spent 3 months in Russia and what was funny at the time I was using a form of Serbo-Croat which the Russians couldn't understand by my Ukrainian assistant did, so he was translating. When In Slovenia everyone thought I was from Bosnia, but when in Serbia people ask if I am from the area where Serbia, Bulgaria and Macedonia all meet. The bit below shows how all the Slavic languages are similar but not the same. An example using an occupation is koval or kowal, which means blacksmith. It is the root of the names Kowalsky, Kowalchuk, Kowalczyk, Kovalenko, Kovalyov, and Kovalev. All mean "descendant of a blacksmith". The given name Petr or Petro (equivalent to Peter) can become Petrov, Petriv, Petriw, Petrovsky, Petrovich, and Petric. All mean "descendant of Peter". This is similar to the use of "-son" or "-sen" in Germanic languages. In East Slavic languages (Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn, and Ukrainian) the same system of name suffixes can be used to express several meanings. One of the most common is the patronymic. Instead of a secondary "middle" given name, people identify themselves with their given and family name and patronymic, a name based on their father's given name. If a man gives his full name as Boris Vladimirovich Kuznetsov, then his father's name must have been Vladimir: Vladimirovich in this case literally means "Vladimir's son".
Ever thought about buying yourself a mirror you hypocrite ? "Desperate for another tit for tat? Meh."
