SWeeps from Louisiana: Please explain?


Top | New | Old
"Geaux" is a Louisiana-inspired spelling of the English word "go," pronounced the same way (/ɡoʊ/). It is commonly used as a slang term of encouragement, most notably in collegiate and professional sports cheers, reflecting Louisiana's French and Cajun heritage. It is often used in phrases like "Geaux Tigers" or "Geaux Saints".

The term "geaux" is a Louisiana-specific spelling and pronunciation of "go," deeply embedded in the state's culture, often appearing in official state initiatives and business services.

Louisiana Secretary of State programs utilize this branding to streamline government interactions, most notably through geauxBIZ, a one-stop online portal for launching businesses, reserving names, and filing annual reports with the Secretary of State, Department of Revenue, and Louisiana Works.

Beyond business and elections, the term appears in various state initiatives:

Geaux Pass: Louisiana's statewide toll system for non-stop driving on toll roads like the LA 1 Expressway.
Geaux Far Louisiana: A strategic planning initiative by the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children to create an equitable, unified early childhood system.
Geaux Vote: A clearinghouse for elections information, voter registration, and educational materials managed by the Secretary of State.
Geaux Get Tested: A past public health initiative launched in 2020 to increase COVID-19 testing availability in hotspot communities.
