The Port Neches Groves volleyball team, headed by Barbara Comeaux, is known as the "Rock-A-Noos".
What does Rock-A-Noo mean? Comeaux did not provide a word-for-word translation but explained:
Rock-a-Noos has a meaning and a spirit all its own. I believe each year the returning players want to keep that meaning and tradition alive. It all goes along with the Indian spirit at PN-G; what it means to compete as an Indian with confidence, and you get that special feeling when competing with your teammates.
When Google failed to reveal the secret words, people concluded that the meaning is known only to those who have played volleyball at PN-G, keeping the meaning of the word a secret.
Others say that it does not mean anything, just a sort of conspiracy to keep people wondering.
While we also wonder about the legacy of the "Rock-A-Noos" tradition, we have made our own interpretation of what it could possibly mean.
To rock something means to give your best effort with confidence; a widely accepted slang definition of "rock" is "to use" or "to make do with".
Noos (also written as nous) in Greek philosophy means “mind” or “intellect,” which is synonymous with common sense and practical intelligence.
In that sense, we suspect that the phrase is a simple reminder to every PN-G player to always have a presence of mind in every game they play—to remain calm and take quick, sensible action.... Show More
