Decatur

Decatur was a small city located on Earth in Texas, United States of America. The etymology of the 20th century craps slang-phrase "Eighter from Decatur," meaning that the player needed to roll an eight on the die, originated in reference to this city.

The novel Hotel Royale character, a Lubbock native encountered by the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), was overheard making a reference to Decatur while he and Vanessa played the craps table in 2365.
