Lacrosse - a sport involving a stick with a net on the end players use to scoop up, pass, and make goals with a small ball. Blows my mind the ability to do. Where did this originate? Apparently various native cultures in the US and Canada dating back to the 17th century. Could be 100's of people and thought perhaps at first mock warfare, or a celebration to the gods. Anyone here play this before?

Bogey - in golf, "bogey" is over par, the number of average strokes a player is expected to make to reach the hole. Where did it come from? There was a popular British dance song called 'Here Comes the Bogey Man' that states "catch me if you can". British golfers started using the term as chasing the bogey man for par. Regardless if one plays golf, did you suspect bogey may have come from the shadowy guy kids are scared of?

Pom-poms - where there are sports, there are often cheerleaders with frizzy puff balls they shake around. Where the heck did these come from? It's derived from the French word pompon, a small decorative ball such as might be on top of a hat. Cheerleading innovator Lawrence Herkimer received a patent for the pom-pom in 1968. Originally crepe paper, today plastic or mylar is used for more flash. Where you ever a cheerleader?

Gatorade shower- involves team members pouring a cooler of the stuff over the coach after a win. While I get celebrating shaking up champagne and spraying around, why Gatorade? Sites I've looked into trace to New York Giants player Jim Burt dumping Gatorade on coach Bill Parcells in 1984 who'd been tough on him over the season, but they won. The trend picked up from there. Dumping it on someone aside, have you ever drank Gatorade?
