YIDO

A contraction of Yiddish and usually used by rival football fans to describe Tottenham Hotspur fans, as they have a long tradition of being supported by the Jewish community, usually in a way that gives it anti-semitic connotations.

"He's only a poor little Yido
He stands at the back of the Shelf
He goes to the bar, to buy a lager
And only gets one for himself!"
