Menon! Menon!

Happy Ramadan to all... :D it seems that this Ramadan can be quite cool because recently its always raining day and night. So in a way we can actually avoid the torment of the turbulent heat and humidity of Malaysia the truly Asia and by His will, may thy shalt fullfill thy holy purpose, Amin.."

Ok, now proceeding with what I've planned to write, I dont know if u noticed this before or u just likes to be ignorant but have u heard a word "Menon" on the field?..Menon? yes! Menon! What is that??..

I mean yah I know it meant to warn your teammate that opponent player(s) nearby and he(your teammate) might get kicked and whacked if he doesnt pass you the ball soon enough or sometimes a teammate just simply shout that to make sure u give the ball to them eventho there's no one near u. I am not the latter though..honest.. :P
But for all that, I often wonder where the fish did "Menon" came from?

I tried "binging"(new microsoft search engine) the word online and found most of the results actually to an Indian family name, Menon which means "accounting or exalted". Which doesn't really make any sense to relate it to football.

"Menon" is not the only commonly used shouts on the field, below I put a list I could think of of famous shouts that some of u might have heard or unheard of:

-50 sen = haha u 've been nutmeg.
-It's not hand Ref! it's ARM! = Zzzz...
-Through! through!= usually used by "overexcited-love-to-act-like-a-coach spectator"
-5 ringgit = got nutmeg again,what a loser.
-Ole!=Nike advert version of 50 sen.
-Awak Ref ker saya Ref?=Common respond from referees.
-Banyak sangat tuh!= used by annoyed teammates towards "C.Ronaldo" posers..
-Patahkan jer kaki die!= used by fans who normally brave among the crowds but cowers when he's alone.

But despite all that, the best shout ever is still...




no doubt.spot on.everytime..
