Name


"'Mon the Biffy!" is a well known chant among Biffy fans, usually shouted in between songs at gigs, or before the band comes on stage. This was later contracted into "'Mon The Biff!" when said by BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe when announcing singles from Puzzle. The band have never actually disclosed exactly where the name 'Biffy Clyro' originated. They have a series of stories as to how the name came about; whilst being interviewed on Soccer AM the band stated that they named themselves after a footballer called Biffy Clyro who played for Scottish side Ayr United also admitting that they make up stories about how they are named because they are bored of being asked the same question. Another story is that one of the members owned a Cliff Richard pen, i.e. Cliffy Biro', which was accidentally spoonerised on a drunken night out. The name Biffy Clyro has also been claimed in another interview to come from an acronym for "Big Imagination For Feeling Young 'Cos Life Yearns Real Optimism".[15] The band also state in an interview for Balcony TV that the band name was that of a Finnish footballer from the 17th century.
