There is a long-running armchair debate about the etymology of the team name "Black Turnips". There are 3 main contenders put forward by philologists: (1) That when the team fell on hard times (following the Great Financial Collapse), they took to stealing turnips from their unfortunate neighbours' fields. Not a very charitable explanation (though plausible). (2) That the performance of the team (and of its prominent players) is so chronically bad, that the fans have taken to yelling: "You're as useful as a black turnip!". Also not a very charitable explanation (but quite popular). (3) That the expression dates from the time of the great Crypto-Tulip Mania (widely believed to have been started by Vampire teams discovering the means to grow exotic tulips in their crypts, hence the term "crypto"). Anyway, according to this etymon, the team much exaggerated and touted their (non-existent) horticultural and crypto-prowess, founded a crypto-tulip exchange, and wrote a good many futures contracts for "black tulips" (for astronomical sums, of course). When the "black tulip bulbs" were eventually dug up on the contract date, they turned out of course to be nothing of the kind, but instead rather smelly and rotten black turnips (at least that is the polite version). This precipitated not only the Great Financial Collapse, but the wider ruin of society as we knew it (not to mention the end of the NAF - far too many bribes having been paid in crypto-tulips). The most charming explanation (if a bit far-fetched). We will let you decide, gentle reader. We only suggest that should you wish to debate the matter with one of the venerable Imperial philologists, you first find yourself a good armchair! |
