Floridana
 n.— «Old postcards are one facet of what some collectors call kitsch and others prefer to call “Floridana”—a broader term that extends beyond the simply silly and encompasses a vast body of memorabilia with one thing in common: They must date before the opening of Walt Disney World in 1971.» —“Old postcards offer unique view of state’s past” News-Press (Fort Myers, Florida) Dec. 23, 2007.
