I can do a back flip on a tramp. Found that out a few days ago

So, if I tell my kids to go play on the tramp, is that bad?

Don't let it bug you, it's easier to say. "Dad, can I go jump on the tramp?"

Stay away from the dirty tramp down the street.

Tramps are dangerous without the right safety equipment.

Don't think it is a Utah thing. Heard it in AZ, TX, and FL. It is a common term.

It's a kid thing. We all called it a tramp as kids growing up in Oregon.

The only "people" I have heard use it are kids.

Me too, but it was a shorter tramp (But not an exercise tramp either)

It never ceases to amaze me the things we try to ascribe to Utah culture.

It's hard to live down the legacy of "Oh my heck!" and "fetch."

Why? I never heard that term until living there and haven't heard it since

I've always wondered why Cher sang about Gypsies and Thieves using Trampolines.

That's an interesting insight. I bet you raise your hand a lot in Sunday School.

Not a Utah thing..trampolines are probably just more common in Utah

Um, pretty sure you can poll 50 states and ask what is meant by the term

We said that in Idaho when I was a kid, and I'm 48 years old.
