The term "Dundee United" used for fools originated from the film "Crocodile Dundee". Watch the film and you would understand |

Op with your kind permission permit to rephrase the to its suppose to be. From 'How Dundee United became a slang for fools' to how Dundee United became a slang to mean fool. The former simply refers to 'Dundee United' as a term used only by fools or the foolish. 1 Like |

Neoteny:It is a fact. The phrase only started being used in the 70's after the Scottish club toured the country. What exactly at are you arguing against with your conjecture statement? That they didn't tour the country or that the phrase came into being earlier? |

Even the then low rated Leventis of Lagos (Iddo Tigers) not it’s latter day leventis United Of Ibadan beat them silly. They were just running around like headless chickens. Leventis goalkeeper a chap called Van Ess even dribbled out of goal a few times. They were that humiliated. So that was how looking mumu like Dundee United came to be. Mind you there is another club called Dundee in Scotland that are probably a bit better than Dundee United but the fact remains that both of them are Dundees meaning ‘Mumu’ in Naija parlance. � 3 Likes |

In 1972 Dundee United were not the 'Barcelona' of Europe as claimed in the video. They finished 9th in the Scottish league table, which for such a poor league is terrible! They were more successful in the late 70s early 80s. http://www.dundeeunited-mad.co.uk/club/league-history/ |
