The New Collective Nickname for Big Brother Fans.
 
Our Derek Gibbons asked us the other night what we Big Brother fans call ourselves - I informed him we were TiBBers after he incorrectly guessed our collective names were 'Big Brother-ers'.

But it seems Channel 5 have now given us our little pet fan names. :suspect:

Are you ready for it?

Spoiler:


Siblings. :idc:

bbuk Official Big Brother
Calling all siblings! Celebrity Big Brother will be on at 10pm this evening on C5, followed by Big Brothers Bit on the Side on 5* at 11pm



Sounds like something Alex Sibely's fans would call themselves.

Makes sense I guess LMFAO - so would it catch on? :p

Don't think it'll catch on, but I quite like it.

Not really that clever, but it should only be used within close family circles, which this is very definitely NOT!

Harry! 21-08-2011 07:29 PM

'Big Brother-ers' :worship:.

And anyway that sounds quite cringy lol. Suppose it is cute though I guess. It is better then being a Little Monster or something like that.

I think its too much of a generic word for people to automatically understand it as a Big Brother reference unless coming from Big Brother itself. But I guess it makes sense. I don't think it will catch on, but who knows :tongue:

Big Brother-ers is fat better. Derek should take control of Endemol.

Dont wanna be called a Tibber LOL.

When I used to be an Alex Sibley fan, we were known as Alex's Angels :D in fact my name on the C4 site was Alex's Angel :hugesmile:

If you're one of those *****s that pronounce it 'tibber' then obviously not but if you're a smart person like myself you'd say it like 'Tee Eye BeeBee-er' and that sounds kind of cool. :evilgrin:

That sounds cringeworthy, awful and pants. May it never catch on.

Do be careful. patting yourself on the back like that can lead to a dislocated elbow.

I do pronounce it like that actually, couldn't be bothered to write TiBBer though :D

Marc 21-08-2011 08:02 PM

We're siblings. It makes sense cos Big Brother is our Brother :lovedup:

Good lad.

Patrick 21-08-2011 08:04 PM

How about instead of Siblings just - Brothers?

So like 'FELLOW BROTHERS! It's time for the Eviction! Go watch and return to the forum immediatly, those of you joining Beastie in her discussion thread that she made last Thursday - please proceed to it now.'

Brothers sounds cooler - not ideal but better than 'hehe siblings!' :bored:

That wouldn't work for the female fans :P
So siblings is female and male fans together xD

Patrick 21-08-2011 08:07 PM

Yeah but even though the majority of Big Brother's viewers are Females and Gays - the majority of users on this forum are blokes...

So I think Brothers is cool for here - girls can just get their own nicknames. :hmph:

Brothers for us males and how about Sisters for the females?

Saph 21-08-2011 08:43 PM

I like to think of myself as a 'Fellow Sperm&Egg'

Stu 21-08-2011 08:47 PM

Wrestling has clearly taken virtually all of the greatest collective nouns for groups of fans.

The people.
Hulkamaniacs.
Testicles.

Etc.
