- Let’s go find a tailgate party to go pregaming.
Pregaming
verb; derivation
To get drunk before a football game during a tailgating party. Tailgating before a College Football game is an important tradition. Pregaming is in reference to drinking during this traditional celebration. Our group before the game did not have a car to tailgate; some of my friends just wanted to drink in one of these parties. Pregaming was an alternative way of saying they wanted to get drunk before the game.
