Dictionary of Cultural Literacies

Growing up, we referred to the floorboard of a car as the foot of the car. I think this was just something that we did in the small town of Gibson, Georgia.

In North Augusta, South Carolina, we refer to the Parks and Recreation center, or the whole of Riverview Park in general, as 'the Rec.'

On the softball field, if the situation permits, we yell 'turn two' to remind each other to go for the double play.

Sometimes during sporting events, either the team or the fans might do a black out (or solid orange!). This means that they wear all black (or orange) as a form of intimidation and/or unity.

Some friends and I refer to any and all valedictorians as #1.
