Lore
The Concise Macquarie Dictionary, 1982, defines lore as “The body of knowledge, traditional, anecdotal, or popular nature on a particular subject”. An example is Grandma’s custom, whenever making a cup of tea, of always turning the teapot three times to the right and three times to the left to get a good cup of tea. This is an example of common folklore; lore can also be about plain old fairy stories.
