  • Jingle jangle: No, it's not a Christmas song. Jingle jangle is an illegal drug that was especially prominent in season two.
  • Night jogging: Kevin has especially used this phrase a lot, and it's basically his secret way of saying he's going cruising.
  • Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe: This is the most popular diner in Riverdale. The teens love to hang out here, and it's also where quite a bit of action, plotting, and scheming occur. It's now owned by Veronica Lodge instead of Hiram.
  • Red and Black: Similar to Blue and Gold, this was Southside High's former student-run newspaper — back when Southside High was still open. Apparently, the names of all high school newspapers in this show are just the school colors.
  • Red Circle: This was Archie's team of teenage vigilantes (basically just the football team) who somehow convinced themselves that they could protect the community from crime better than the police.
  • River Vixens: They are Riverdale High's cheerleading squad that recently performed outside of the prison Archie is currently in. Casual.
  • Shankshaw Prison: A pastiche of Stephen King's fictitious Shawshank State Prison, this is where F.P. Jones served time for helping to cover up Jason Blossom's murder.
  • Sisters of Quiet Mercy: This is a really creepy group home where Alice Cooper sent Polly after discovering that she was pregnant with Jason's twins and where Cheryl was sent for gay conversion before being saved by Toni.
