Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terms_used_for_Germans#Hun

Hun (or The Hun) is a term used in reference to the medieval Hunnic Empire of Attila the Hun. This term was used heavily during World War I and was often seen on Allied war posters.
The origin of the term was the notorious Hunnenrede (Hun speech) of Emperor Wilhelm II on the 27th of July 1900, when he bade farewell to the German expeditionary corps sailing from Bremerhaven to defeat the Boxer Uprising.
Trans: "When you meet the enemy, he will be defeated! No quarter will be given! No prisoners will be taken! Those who fall into your hands are forfeit to you! Just as a thousand years ago, the Huns under their King Etzel made a name for themselves that make them appear awe-inspiring in tradition and myth, so shall you establish the name of Germans in China for a 1000 years, so that a Chinese will never again dare to look askance at a German."
The theme of Hunnic savagery was then developed in a speech of August Bebel in the Reichstag in which he recounted details of the cruelty of the German expedition which were taken from soldiers' letters home, styled the Hunnenbriefe (letters from the Huns).[2]
The Kaiser's speech was widely reported in the European press and then became the basis for the characterisation of the Germans during WW1 as barbarians and savages with no respect for European civilisation and humanitarian values.

You've got to be fucking kidding me?!

You're telling me we can't call Fritz 'The Hun' anymore when discussing world cup football?

a) If The Hun refers to someone else then how is it offensive?!

b) It definitely refers to the Germans.



And for the record I love Germany I think it is an amazing country, it's my 3rd favourite country in the world behind England and Mickland.

Yellow cards and warnings indeed. Numpty.
