Compared to some of the venom spat at exit voters following the result, remoaner is tame. I agree that it's tiresome now though.

"Remoaners", noun: those who voted to remain in the EU and consequently moan incessantly that they lost.
It's perfect ! It'll probably make it into OED eventually. Quote:
I find it a very useful term as it is use by those that are best ignored.

When the remain camp creates expressions like Hard Brexit and Soft Brexit, which makes any form of withdrawal from the EU sound awful, why shouldn't we create words such as Remainiacs, Remoaners and Brexiteers?

i think it shows wonderful wit and intelligence.
I have to clutch my sides with mirth every time I see it. Pure comedic gold. |

Remain is one of those words which has so many more twisting possibilities than, say, Stay. And Remains also means rotting bits of dead things. Surely they would rather have been Stayers?

It's not very nice I suppose, but then it's hard to have sympathy when leavers have been called everything up to and including nazis on here.

What is important is certain companies are heading for bankruptcy. Capita PLC, today's share price dropped like a stone to £4.81 & it still seems to be falling - 2 weeks ago, it was £6 & 6 months ago, over £10.
Especially given their performance having taken over the armed forces recruiting. Many people who've been TUPE'd across to Capita, or just had to deal with their 'services' will probably shed few tears. |

Like SJW, wear the title loud and proud. Despite what DigitalSpy pricks might tell you, it really is as simple as the difference between good and evil.

Sadly there a core of those who voted Brexit who appear to think the vote on 23rd June brought in a dictatorship. You've got a load of them on DM commentary demanding that the MP's who voted against article 50 be sacked. Bizarre.

The Cameron description of Leavers makes all of the Remain jibes look like terms of endearment.
Self Harmers. |

At some point, the Remnants may work out that constant moaning without providing anything constructive is why they're attracting lables. And losers don't get to dictate terms.
But self-abusers may be apt, ie it's not about what the majority wants, it's all about what they want. |

The term remoaner is meaningless seeing it gets thrown about over all sorts of ridiculous things. Lately it seems to refer to people who respect British law and British parliamentary power, something that brexiters chucking this term around were apparently big fans of up until a few weeks ago.

If people don't want to be called a 'remoaner' then its simple... stop yer moaning, accept the result and get on board with us leaving the EU.
We are not standing for some some half way house (Norway model) either, which wasn't the choice on the ballot paper. So stop banging on about this too. |

As I've nearly worn out my "Don't blame me - I didn't vote Brexit" teeshirt, I'm having another one done: "Remoaner - and proud of it".

PS: No, I will fight to the bitter end to stop this nonsense. For the moment, it is better to do little and watch the car crash unfold. We will be revoting in 2020 and hopefully, there will be no rigging of the franchise this time. |

Except they don't moan about having lost. The sad irony is that brexiters spend most of their time moaning about the fact that remainers moan. This 'moaning' on the part of remainers generally consists of a proven argument that brexiters refuse to admit exists even although their own fearless leaders have acknowledged. it
