Well I'm rooted after reading all that stuff! Time for a lie down. Not lie in the biblical sense either, that would be to lie down for a root!

Not just in the 90s. My friends and I will always laugh at this term if we ever see anyone with one.

Come to think of it....fanny packs are not uncommon around Rooty Hill which creates a whole new source of laughter.

And yes...my first thought when I see root is a slang Australian one

The sports connection is in the fourth use of the word "root" in the Merriam-Webster. As I first learned English by reading comics and sports magazines, I thought it was standard English.

Definition of ROOT

intransitive verb
1: to noisily applaud or encourage a contestant or team : cheer
2: to wish the success of or lend support to someone or something
Of course

I have heard of that, just didn't make the connection straight away. Thanks.

The forms of the word 'root' on this forum make me laugh.
Case in point: 'pre-rooted'.

'Pre-rooted' - the definition of a tribble?
