Ophidian Old Boy Snakes are so despised by some teams that there’s even a special word for the phobia associated with the creatures — ophidiophobia (ophis is Greek for snake.) It’s one of the most commonly found animal phobias in the SWEET followed by the fear of cheese, pugs and camels. This phobia is often displayed by people in the Rules and tribunal thread where people who are frightened of confronting snakes feel free to lash out.
It’s also worth noting Ophidian Old Boy snakes have been important to the SWEET F.A. in helping to control rodent and other pests. Snakes have been worshiped as gods in India, with offerings of milk occasionally poured on snake pits. They can also be seen as a symbol of virility and fertility and are even prayed to during a Hindu festival Naga Panchami. Ancient Greeks used snakes to ward off evil and other cultures around the world have associated snakes with wisdom and healing.

It’s all about “shedding toxicity in personality, in character traits,” said Captain of the Ophidian Old Boys Tigerturbulance. “It’s shedding the ego, letting go of the past, letting go of anger, letting go of love lost,” Turbo said. “This is the year where that kind of growth — personal and macro, internal and external — is very much possible, its my hope the other SFA teams can embrace this as much as Spotswood has and will going forward season 39.”
