Where did the term "Natty" come from?

[DogPatch]

Can't stand it, and it's being used more and more.

 

[cuda.1973]

Some form of industrial corn lager.

Dabo....

I HATE it..... it's so trashy and bumpkin sounding. It's more commonly used as slang for cheap gas station Natural Lite Beer.

If I were Admin it would be a month's suspension for using it as a substitution for National Championship.

If you wan't to use something less formal just say 'NC' for shorthand.

Don't be a Dabo....Don't be a Bumpkin....

We have to fight this stereotype as it is without throwing more fuel on the fire.

 

[Crimson1967]

It was started and popularized by people who need to get off my lawn.

 

[TNElephantitis]

The same way “swagger” “bling” and “shout out” became popular. Thats as much as I’ll say without this becoming a non-sports topic.

 

[TitleWave]

H€ll.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Some people, especially Oregon fans say it started in 2010 with Oregon CB Cliff Harris saying it before they played Auburn. Other schools might claim an earlier use. No way to really know for sure. Here's a video of Harris saying it in 2010 at the 0:53 mark of the video:

I've seen it used more and more on TideFans, which is disturbing.

From idiots. It came from idiots.

I'll give you a shout out when you show up with all your bling from the natty, full of swagger.

From those that can't win one...

Who knows?

 

[tusks_n_raider]

It is generally agreed - and not just by Oregon fans - that Cliff Harris coined the term, which was a common thing he did (he also referred to himself as the cheese on top of the nachos).

But nobody cares about Oregon or watches the Pac-12 and it's not why it entered into popular lexicon.

It was Dabo using it postgame after beating us for the 2016 Title that caused it to spread throughout CFB like a Hillbilly STD.

I started hearing all the time during and after 2010, the year we beat Oregon.

I don’t know but wish it would go back there.

Definition:

Natty, Lite, or “Natty Lite” - Term often used to describe a product sold in stores pretending to be beer. Taste best described as fermented horse urine; term also popularized by the HC of Clemson, which ironically best describes the so called dynasty as purported from the Palmetto State.” update: now “dynasty lite”, tastes watered down, less filling.

It’s better than the “Favor of God”. That’ll be sand in my drawers forever

 

[bamacon]

Some say “ship” and I don’t like that either. To me it’s all from texting/online sub language that’s just seeped into the mainstream lexicon
