Title: Have you ever been called a TriTob?
Post by: E-man on November 02, 2006, 03:09:58 PM

I'm now reading an article on the upcoming Austria game and see the headline say "TriTobs" Never heard that reference before so I googled (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=RNWE,RNWE:2004-25,RNWE:en&q=tritobs) it - seems to be just a German language thing. The only pages that came up are in German. I never heard it used until now. Didn't notice the term used at all during the World Cup.

I was digging a little further. The contraction (of Trinidad and Tobago) looks like it came from a guy who bet on T&T during the Sweden game. On this page (http://www.allesaussersport.de/archiv/2006/06/10/england-%E2%80%93-paraguay/) in the comments it says:

Yeah! Just won 3 Euros. I'll mark the occasion to create a nicer nickname than "Trinis" and will call the boys "TriTobs" from now. (pronounced similar to the soda) We'll see how many sports journalists take my lead.

Looks like a few did, but google only turns up about 3 pages. I guess he means this particular fizzy drink:

Have mercy.

Ok...yuh think the people from the island of Tobago would be happier if we were referred to as  "Tritobs" instead of "trinis" ?   :-\

whey storebay....Baygo Boy...any people from the island of tobago have anything to say?

I ain't looking for an argument...just some middle ground.
