    Actually, in session 1 04, it was "Spitalians" not "Sportalians".

    Also, isn't the point of an encyclopedia to be factual?

    I've heard Spitalians, Sportalians, Franco-Sportalians, Pug-Fugly and something which incorporates the Spanish, French, Italian, Portugese and Dutch.


    Ye got hoodies!!!

    Though the most common one I've heard is sportalians

    People just took the idea too far.

    'Hey, you know what nationality we should add today? Swiss! Now they're Sportofrancissalionawegians!'
    'Wait! What about adding some Peruvians!'

    It's a vicious cycle

    I was happy with Spitalians...
    They come from Spittaly.
    And it doesn't sound too much like a reference to sport.

    i always remember sportalians, but in my first year, (05), people were shouting about the two. but they will always be sportalians. from sportalia.
