i'm confused as tae why folk on here seem tae regard the expression HUN as sectarian. as far as can remember it was used tae describe the behaviour o' rangers fans [Attila the hun] and has got absolutely f#uck all tae dae wi' sectarianism. so tae use the whitabootery BUT YOUSE CA' US HUNS in defence o' yer ain bigoted chants is quite frankly bullshit

I'm just as confused about the term "fenian":

I believe they were a group of prehistoric warriors and the name was adopted by...

"a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, a 19th-century revolutionary nationalist organization among the Irish in the US and Ireland. The Fenians staged an unsuccessful revolt in Ireland in 1867 and were responsible for isolated revolutionary acts against the British until the early 20th century, when they were gradually eclipsed by the IRA."


I think it's a political term, but I'm told it sectarian.


Your memory is of course defective.  "Hun" is a catch all for Protestants and by extension Rangers fans often heard as:


"F#cking hun"
"Dirty hun b#stard"
etc.


But I suspect that you know this already.
