Scunny is the affectionate — and sometimes dismissive — nickname that locals and football fans use for Scunthorpe, a town in North Lincolnshire, England. Like many British towns, Scunthorpe has its own condensed nickname that regulars swap effortlessly. The word is most commonly heard from fans of Scunthorpe United FC and in regional conversation. Outside the Humber region it's mainly recognised by football supporters who've played or watched matches involving the club.
We drove through Scunny on the way back from the match and stopped for chips at a place that had been there since forever.
