When did it become acceptable to say "Bungles"

[TecmoBengals]

I have to admit fellows (and ladies), I'm surprised Bengals fans are disappointed in people throwing around the pejorative term Bungles. I've been able to watch the Bengals lose a Super Bowl, I suffered through the '90s, and have been a fan, true fan of this team. I've referred to them as the Bungles because they've been as much, but I never considered myself less a fan. I'm intrigued at the different opinions in this thread. Interesting stuff!
