Northwest nerdery: Soccer + Chinook Jargon
Northwest nerdery: soccer + Chinook Jargon…
Portland Timbers fans holding up banners during the national anthem before a match:
“TIMBERS HIAS SKOOKUM” (it’s a chant, too)
“WHITECAPS HIAS CULTUS”
“SOUNDERS HIAS MESACHIE”
“TIMBERS TOLO KONAWAY”
I rest my case: we are a truly odd bunch 🙂

PS: If you think history is forgotten, check out the Timbers fan chants page. They taunt Canadian teams for living in a “British colony”1
