A US sports and pop-culture term for hosting or attending a tailgate-style party from the comfort of your own home rather than the stadium parking lot.
A US sports and pop-culture term for hosting or attending a tailgate-style party from the comfort of your own home rather than the stadium parking lot. Think team jerseys, cold drinks, grilled food, and the pregame show blasting on the TV. Homegating gained major mainstream traction when fans couldn't attend games in person and discovered that hosting a proper spread at home could rival the real thing.
We decided to homegate instead of fighting traffic, so we set up the grill in the backyard and watched the kickoff from the couch.

(US) tailboard.
(UK, dialect, archaic) To one's home; homeward.
An American English word for the removable board or hinged panel at the back of a wagon or cart — what British English calls a tailboard. The endgate held the load in and could be dropped or removed for loading and unloading. The term is deeply embedded in American agricultural and frontier history, showing up in accounts of covered wagon travel, farm life, and rural commerce. In modern usage it's largely historical, though it survives in some rural American dialects and old-timey writing about pioneer life.
(UK, _, dialectal) A highway.
