Hubcap n. Decorative automobile wheel accessory, now virtually succeeded by alloy wheel (qv) technology. During their time of popularity, often the target of petty thirving urchins in Lanarkshire, as commemorated in song.
Hubris n. overbearing self-confidence, thought by eminent psychology scholars to be a defence mechanism against the innate insecurity brought on by bottle-feeding (“Eh’m no hivvin tha’ wee scunner sookin oan meh paps”) and expressed season after season by the followers of a twice-relegated free-falling throwback organisation with delusions of mediocrity.
Humble Pie n. (1) Steve Marriott, Greg Ridley, Jerry Shirley, Clem Clempson. [alumnus Peter Frampton]. The group’s live “Performance” album (1971) continues to be regarded as a pioneering amalgam of hard rock (qv) and gospel (qv).
(2) derivative- humble peh n. Rumoured to be popular seller at Tannadice Park, Dundee on the afternoon of 28 August 2022, although hubris (qv) will soon be evident again as “these cuunts never learn” (GB Shaw 1911)

TRF editor Chris Crighton’s P&J column today, after voicing gentle disquiet at the Dons’ jittery start on Saturday:
“Still, as a football fan, you take what you can while you can.
“Because one day you’re celebrating pushing opponents off their step, the next you’re having an anything but beautiful Sunday.”
Order yourself a pint from the bar, Merkie. Ojo’s paying.
