[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 764009, member: 71826"] I don't think there's an English equivalent. A "glory hunter" is someone who chooses who to support because they are winners, so someone born London who's parents are from London and who has always lived in London, but supports Manchester United because he was a child in the 90s when they were winning everything in sight. It's not quite the same thing as "exitismo" though. Thanks for teaching me a new Spanish word! I like it - I think a lot of Kiwis are exitistas ... [/QUOTE]
