Lexicon

For FNGs, the swirl of inside-baseball lingo and jargon used at your average F3 workout can be a bit confusing. Like, for instance, What’s an FNG and why do people keep calling me that? (FNG stands for Friendly New Guy, or something along those lines… )

The F3 Lexicon is intended to help in that regard, providing a scattershot listing of lingo, sayings, expressions, acronyms, etc., that may come in handy when reading a BackBlast (A writeup of what happened on a workout) or attempting to decipher an email from a QIC (The leader of a given workout).

We also have a similar glossary for Exercises called the Exicon.

CARTERICO

A large area of land situated between military bases that the feds use to protect us (Cherry Point/Camp Lejeune) and a beautiful seashore that the feds stole from us (Cape Lookout). It includes such towns as Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach and essentially stretches from Cedar Island to Cedar Point. Carterico is clannish. Foreigners are known as dit-dots and dingbatters. Carterico is proud of its lack of progress and generally skeptical of any idea that originates “West-a-Raleigh” (including F3). (West-a-Raleigh is an acceptable identifier for any Carterican and is used to define the entire rest of the United States). The same spirit that once led Cartericans to jump in row boats in January and kill whales with their bare hands can now be found in the gloom in Rotary Park.
