Going back to the first question in this thread:Morrus said:In US movies I often hear an event called "Homecoming" referred to in relation to schools. What is it, and where are they coming home from?
I never really understood what homecoming was, myself, and I've lived here all my life. Heck, I was even in the homecoming court my senior year of high school -- invited to escort one of the girls in the court. (I had to wear a suit and walk out on the football field with my girl and the others in front of a couple hundred people.) I always just assumed it was the first home football game of the season. I knew it was a thing, and I heard the term/time announced for various high schools and colleges, but I never gave it two thoughts before or after that one escort.
Like Morrus with cricket, it's funny how something can be a big part of one's culture, but that doesn't mean you actually pay it any attention.
