"Tag" Board

Ok, so "tag board" must be a midwestern thing....no one seems to know what it is! Sort of like we say "pop" and the rest of the modern says"soda".....

Anyways, tag board is another name for poster board! I think most of you will know what I mean when I say THAT! Thin, poster-like board that students often use for posters in school (that say things like "Go Panthers!!!").

Does this sound familiar to any of you?

Hugs,
Amy

    Hi Amy,

    I know what tag board is, but then as a former teacher that is what we called it so I have an edge over other!

  11. Poster board in the south! Of course, any soft drink can be deemed a "coke."

    thanks for clearing that up. I'm east coast and around here we call it posterboard. I just wasn't sure if it was foamcore or posterboard. Now I know :) It's amusing how things get renamed according to location. Back east we call soft drinks "soda". Mention "pop" and everyone assumes you're talking about grandpa! LOL

  15. LOL we say "pop" here in Edmonton, Alberta but I admit to calling it "soda" when we go to Florida each year. I'd never heard of tag board before though.
