Here in Australia, “Rooting” predominately means sexual intercourse.
Why were so many people saying, “Rooting for you”? ![]()
Were these people offering me coitus?
I have since learnt in the US “Rooting for you” means cheering for you, hoping for your success etc.
Same in the UK Bretrick.
If you’re ‘rooting’ for someone, you’re hoping they win or do well…
Be nice if the price for winning was a night with a sexy mature woman…
I say ‘Mature’ because they don’t expect the world and can be discreet…

Not saying.
Rooting powder I’d imagine…
Anyway, kindly leave my nose out of this! ![]()
