plenum Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 In the late 80's there was a Newcastle United hat that said Ha'way the lads on the side. Is the proper wording Haway, Ha'way or Howay the lads. What does this word stem from and what does it mean? Ignorance is bli Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gemmill Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Haway is the correct spelling based on the genesis of the word, which I have explained on here before. I don't want to have to lecture you halfwits on this again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gemmill Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Cheers Gemmill. Is haway a word or does it come from haddaway which means ???? Ignorance is blitz blueeek.gif It's an abbreviation of the words "Half way". "Ha'way." It's something the miners would shout when they were sending things up and down the mine shaft. Pearls before swine on here though, I'm afraid. Someone will be along shortly to call me a mackem. bluebigrazz.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gemmill Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Why did Bluf change the title of this thread when it was clearly written like that for a reason?
