The phenomenon of being possessed by a demon and having it "talked out" is commonly referred to as an "exorcism."

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons got their name in the 1920s. The moniker "Demon Deacons" was coined by a sportswriter who was impressed by the school's spirited cheerleaders, who wore top hats and tuxedos at games, giving them a distinctive appearance. The name blends the idea of a "demon," representing fierce competition, with "deacon," reflecting the school's religious heritage.
