Roligan (maj.; Roligans) is a nickname used to describe danish sports fans, in various sports, however most commonly- and originating from football.
It is often used as a joke antonym to the english football supporters; "Hooligans", because the danish fans are extremely calm and nice, whereas the english hooligans often shine lasers in the eyes of their opponents.
The description was first popularized in the 1980s, and was a sort of movement to spread a message to the world, that football should be about having fun, cozyness, being calm and well-mannered. Indeed "hygge", often frowning upon the aforementioned crazy, unsportsmanlike behavior of hooligans
The word itself derives from the danish word, "rolig" which translates into "calm". Then pulled together by the last 2 letters of "hoolig'an'"

Get the Roligan mug.Roliana is a forum-based avatar and role playing site.
With the emphasis on Literacy and friendly conversation it has become a very popular destination for people fed up with other types of communities.
Because of this, it has had to put up with accusations, mainly from Gaia Online users that it is a rip-off. The two sites use the same type of software phpBB including smilies that come as default with this software. The fact that Gaia Online wasn't the first site of this kind also escapes them.
