The brief
How to read this.
Two minutes. What lives where, what is out of scope, and the four rules the fanzine keeps.
Vernacular
Words you'll hear.
A few from the full list.
- Forza Sankt Pauli
- The chant. Italian, not German, picked up in the 90s. You'll hear it before you see the pitch.
- Auswärtssieg
- Away win. The away end never sits down. A small victory parade in someone else's town.
- Hells Bells
- The walkout song since 2001. AC/DC. The bell ringing before kickoff is the actual stadium bell.
- Sankt vs. St.
- The Bundesliga writes "St. Pauli". Fans write "Sankt Pauli". Longer spelling, harder commitment.
