It was billy round here, thats weird EDIT: just googled it, Billy as in Billy Liar and Jimmy was a variation because Jimmy Hill had a massive chin. What the fuck has chins got to do with Billy Liar though? Quite apart from that I'd not seen Billy Liar as a kid so i couldnt've known the reference.

I reckon they were linked in some convulsed way. I just thought of something else similar we used to do as kids hanging around in school but i don't want to say it in this thread as it's a Jimmy Hill thread and it's not a very nice thing we used to say. So go over to the General Chat thread and I'll post it in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone at my school used to go around doing that and I always wondered wtf that was about. Now I know. lolAh sad. He was part of the fabric of football in England, just been around forever.

What the fuck has chins got to do with Billy Liar though? Quite apart from that I'd not seen Billy Liar as a kid so i couldnt've known the reference.It was always used in my school as a way of saying "yeah right", like when you didn't believe what someone was telling you. My friend used to drive me mad stroking his chin and pursing his lips saying "Jiiiimmmmy" to practically everything I said.I never realised it was a nationwide phenomenon, I just figured it was a couple of dicks at my school.

wasted Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 It was at my school too, along with "Itchy Chin". There was also this slightly mental kis that used to shout "89!" every lesson. Not sure that was a global phenom though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that was a global phenom though.We used to say "Trev" to everything, as a way of saying "whatever." It went from "whatever", to "Trevor", to "Trev."God, kids can be dicks.

wasted Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 We used to say "jew off" all the time. That's a jew off. As in a rip off. But I only recently realised it was "jew" but I'm not sure what I thought I was saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I love the fact that as soon as you type in the name Jimmy Hill into Google, the first thing that comes up as a suggestion is "chin."Times like this make me proud to be British.

Len Cnut Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I still let the odd 'jew off' slip every so often if I'm honest! We had itchy chin too...trevs a knew one of me. I do remember the magazine Revs getting called Trevs cuz it was run by a Trevor and considered a shit version of Max Power, not sure thats at all related though.'Chief' had a good run here, 'fuckin' chief!', not sure how thats an insult.

Snake-Pit Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Dat chin...Never noticed he had an abnormally large chin until this thread and those obituaries...R.I.P dear sweet Football commentator guy from TV who's name I probably wouldn't have even guessed correctly had I've been given 4 probable choices to select the correct answer to the question 'what is that guy's name?'
