Boccélism Term
of the Moment

T'Bita

(noun) - T'Bita is a word of obscure origin common to several West African languages. The word is used as a formal exclamation of joy for certain major life events, such as the announcement of a wedding engagement or the birth of a healthy male child. In boccelism, the judge's shout of "T'Bita!", echoed by players and spectators, is reserved for that exciting hit which succeeds in blasting both buckets in the air at the same time. A player tossing a T'Bita is awarded an automatic bonus point. In New Orleans it is common for female spectators to expose their breasts as part of the celebration of a T'Bita.
