So I'm reading this memoir written by one of the French Quarter holdouts during Katrina, and he's talking about how he and some of his friends dubbed themselves the Krewe of Nagin after hearing the mayor's tirade on the radio. He immediately explains in the next sentence that they were making reference to the groups that put on the Mardi Gras parades, who call themselves 'krewes' and in the back of my head I'm going "Thank you, Captain Obvious" when it hits me that he's writing this book for people who don't live in Louisiana and *of course* he has to explain "krewe" because they won't know what it means and three years ago *I* didn't know what it means and holy crap I've gone Native.
