Sorry to be that guy but it would have been so much better with just 'Heroes'.
En is infuriating nonsense.
Anyway, good work. |  |

So what does "En" even mean? Is it short for enough, as in "Heroes. Enough (said)"? Or "Heroes. Enough (respect)"?
Baffling. |  | | |

It's a dumb thing on Twitter.
You know when people start saying something as a joke, then it eventually gets tired and boring and people stop saying it? Well basically it got tired and boring but people kept on saying it. Fun for children and adults with a child's brain no doubt though. |  |

It's an old Suffolkism to swallow the 'th' - what's 'is 'en..? What's happening now is the 'en' is being used for emphasis - scared en, really en?, cuh, oi loike 'at en! Basically we're seeing a dialectical tic - unique to Ipswich - evolving before our very eyes. Rather than embrace it as a piece of local culture, the great arbiters of taste on TWTD would rather sneer at and dismiss it. I wonder how Scousers would've responded if Liverpool fans had done something similar, saying 'Heroes La', or Geordies if it was 'Ha'way the Heroes'? Shame en... |  |

Not sneering. Just would prefer it without. Apologies for the offence i've obviously caused. | |

Not to start a linguistic argument over it, but it pretty obviously doesn't work in the same way does it? It doesn't even make sense in the context that everyone uses it in. | |

Not sure what you mean. It was initially just 'then', but among us caackers, in the last few years, it has evolved to give emphasis to what you're saying: cuh, tasty en = that's really tasty; fuming en = i'm really angry; heroes en = these people are really heroes, and so on. It's an interesting little linguistic quirk that's ours, unique to Ipswich, so just go with it... | |

What a load of sh!t 🤣🤣🤣
The only place it gets used is on this board or by those who frequent this board, when they're together thinking its cool and funny.
It is in no way related to local dialect and just seems to have stemmed from good old Troy. From him writing it people have just run with it.
I agree with the chap who said its down right annoying. | | | |

Visually ‘EN’ made as much impact as that banner at The Amex. Spoilt the message. |  |

It was well intentioned and done to appear on the TV and give thanks, unfortunately to the majority of the people who watched the match and noticed it they'd have just thought it a little odd and made no sense (thus losing the impact of thanking the key workers), a large chunk of Town fans didn't (and still don't) know what the hell it meant!
Very much like that banner at the Amex which is still occasionally brought up and ridiculed on their message board
Cool kids thinking they look cool, usually means the majority (actual grown-up) thinking that the cool kids are trying too hard and failing | | | |

Only on TWTD would posters complain about a word, when the underlying message of which is a great tilt of the hat to all the key workers who have been truly heroic throughout this pandemic by our own supporters group.
Great work, yet again BA1878. |  |

Put what you bloody want in your banner, don't listen to people that just sit on here and moan and rarely venture out of their house.
Now, can I have you LAMBO banner please? I would like to make some modifications and display it again [Post edited 14 Sep 2020 9:41]

EN damaged the message, except apparently for a small minority.. Blue Action needs to attract as wide a support as possible.
EN is not a word. | |

A pedant responds
Actually en is a word....it is a unit of measurement in printing, equal to half an em
Something to do with the width of a letter in typesetting
Bloody handy if you are playing Scrabble |  | | |

Except your small minority is apparently only posters moaning about it in this thread, on this forum.
If you see that banner and that’s the thing you take away from it, it says more about you than it does about us. | | | |
