A word written all over the walls in the men's restrooms at the University of California at Santa Cruz library. The vandalism does not originate from one person, but from several who are eager to leave their mark in this subculture of collegiate society. The actual definition of the term is insignificant, for over the years its main purpose has been to connect the spirits of college males who are eager for humorous relief amidst long study sessions in the library. It is tradition to create phrases with the word "grout" incorporated into them such as "The Groutain of Youth," "Grout Expectations," and "Grout of Site." The comments are often written in-between the wall tiles so as not to be erased by the custodial staff.
