Hey all you slabs of meet! Pack your bags, beer and shotguns. You’re going on a mancation! But don’t forget your fake bake and no DWT.
Here are your buzzwords for this week.
DWT: Driving While Texting. It’s become a such a concern that the Arizona State Legislature is considering a bill to make it illegal.
surge space: The extra space required (which usually doesn’t exist) to temporarily house people, desks, inventory, etc., while you renovate or expand your offices.
Fake Bake: The brand name a for sunless tanning solution that comes in lotion, spray, mousse and lip gloss (no kidding). In its lower case form, it’s also another name for indoor tanning salons.
slabs of meet: A cluster of big, wannabe athletes that gather around giant plasma TVs to watch sporting events, such as the Super Bowl, etc.
prosumer: An amateur who has the knowledge and expertise (or at least thinks he does) that requires him to buy “professional” level equipment instead of what’s sold to most consumers. Also, a common term to describe consumer equipment that’s a notch below professional grade (think digital camcorders).
mancation: A man’s vacation. Generally includes lots of beer, a Weber grill, slabs of meat for cooking and a sack of fireworks.

What timing – my hub just left on a golfing mancation not one hour ago! And there will be lots of beer, grilling of meat, swearing & golfing (not necessarily in that order)

What do you think they call a vacation for women only “femcation” or “girladay”
Or maybe a girl’s vacation is to be free of the man for a few days, ergo mancation. It works both ways.
Anyway, have fun H&P
