Pompey skate

Nickname given to Portsmouth fans by rival Southampton fans.

Originates from the fact that, because Portsmouth is both a naval base and a fishing port, there are large numbers of horny sailors and fish (with large mouths) such as the common skate in Portsmouth, and on lonely nights at sea, the sailors would use the skate's mouth to..... yeah.
