It's the name of the PNG volleyball team and only the Senior players get told what it means and are sworn to secrecy.  I'm convinced that it doesn't mean anything and it's all a big conspiracy to make people wonder.  :D

Early 70's when Coach Comeaux first started

http://pngtribune.com/365/

When it comes to attitude the team has its own. The term “Rock-a-Noos” is without a doubt one of the biggest mysteries but also without a doubt, a rallying cry and a belief that only those who have played volleyball at PN-G truly understand.

“Rock-a-Noos has a meaning and a spirit all its own,” said Comeaux. “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.

“It’s all about teamwork.”

The Rock-A-Noos are serious about keeping the meaning of the word secret. They won't budge.

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      By Big girl · Posted

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
