A common greeting on campus is "Hotty Toddy!", which is also used in the school chant. The phrase has no explicit meaning and its origin is unknown.<ref name="hottytoddy"/> The chant was first published in 1926, but "Hotty Toddy" was spelled "Heighty Tighty"; this early spelling has led some to suggest it originated with [[Virginia Tech]]'s regimental band, The Heighty Tighties.<ref name="hottytoddy"/><ref name="yearbook">{{cite web |url=http://theolemissyearbook.com/ole-miss-traditions-what-makes-us-rebels/ |title=Ole Miss Traditions: What Makes Us Rebels |last=Wiggs |first=Hayden |date=October 29, 2020 |website=The Ole Miss |access-date=August 21, 2021 |archive-date=August 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210822004539/http://theolemissyearbook.com/ole-miss-traditions-what-makes-us-rebels/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Other proposed origins are "[[wiktionary:hoity-toity|hoity-toity]]", meaning snobbish,<ref name="toddy"/><ref name="yearbook"/> and the alcoholic drink [[hot toddy]].<ref name="toddy">{{cite news |last=Staff report |date=September 5, 2016 |title=What is Hotty Toddy?

On football game days, the Grove, a {{cvt|10|acre|adj=on}} plot of trees, hosts an elaborate [[Tailgate party|tailgating]] tradition;<ref name="tailgate"/><ref name="grove">{{cite news |last=Ward |first=Doug |date=August 30, 2010 |title=Rebel spell: timeless tailgating tradition |url=https://www.espn.com/travel/news/story?id=5513718 |work=ESPN |access-date=October 2, 2021 |archive-date=June 26, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626223928/https://www.espn.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> according to ''The New York Times'', "Perhaps there isn't a word for the ritualized pregame revelry&nbsp;... 'Tailgating' certainly does not do it justice". The tradition began in 1991 when cars were banned from the Grove.<ref name="tailgate"/> Prior to each game, over 2,000 red-and-blue trash cans are placed throughout the Grove. This event is known as "Trash Can Friday". Each barrel marks a tailgating spot.<ref>{{cite news |last=Guizerix |first=Anna |date=September 7, 2018 |title=Dixie Cups: Trash Can Friday is back again |url=https://www.oxfordeagle.com/2018/09/07/dixie-cups-trash-can-friday-is-back-again/ |work=The Oxford Eagle |access-date=September 17, 2021 |archive-date=September 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210917214813/https://www.oxfordeagle.com/2018/09/07/dixie-cups-trash-can-friday-is-back-again/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The spots are claimed by tailgaters, who erect a "tent city" of 2,500 shelters.<ref name="tailgate"/><ref name="grove"/> Many of the tents are extravagant, feature chandeliers and fine china, and typically host meals of [[Cuisine of the Southern United States|Southern cuisine]].<ref name="grove"/> To accommodate the crowds, the university maintains elaborate portable bathrooms on [[Semi-trailer truck|18-wheeler]] platforms known as "Hotty Toddy Potties".<ref name="tailgate"/>
