Barcelona – Barça, Blaugrana (Blue and Reds), Culés (Bottoms)
Barça is most common, Blaugrana most obvious but Culés most interesting. It is often applied to fans and stems from a tale of supporters unable to find seats at the old Les Corts stadium. They would instead sit on the walls of the ground, unwittingly exposing their behinds to passers-by.
Basel – Bebbi
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the name Johann Jakob was very common in Basel and people with that name were vernacularly called ‘Bebbi’. Eventually it became so popular that all boys from Basel were (and still are) referred to as Bebbi.
