A grammatical category of words frequently used by members of sororities. Sorority girls are afraid of normal articles like "the" "an" and "a", so they use the silent sorority version.
Sorority girls never say: "I am going to THE meeting tonight. Do our pledges have to go to THE activity with us? Let's go to A pizza place before THE meeting. What should I wear to THE formal?"
Rather, they use the sorarticle (silent the, an, or a), and they say "I am going to meeting tonight. Do our pledges have to go to activity with us? Let's go to pizza place before meeting. What should I wear to formal?"
