8-0er

A popular and affectionate term used to refer to citizens of Saudi Arabia.

The term originates from the 2002 World Cup in S.Korea/Japan, in which during the group stage of the tournament, Saudi Arabia were humiliated 8-0 by Germany - Miroslav Klose scoring a hat trick in the process of Saud Arabia's demolition.

Saudi Arabia coach Nasser Al-Johar was famously seen to slam his clipboard down onto the ground in helpless frustration as Germany ravaged his national team again, and again, and again, and again...

You wanna head on down to that new 8-0er restaurant later today?

Nah, leave it. If they cook as bad as they play football then I'm not interested.
