A portmanteau of "stuck" and "vacation," referring to an involuntary stay at home resembling a vacation in some aspects. This situation typically arises due to external circumstances beyond
one'
s control, such as inclement weather, global pandemics, or transportation strikes, where individuals are confined to their homes. Despite the restriction, the experience is somewhat leisurely or vacation-like, often involving activities not typically partaken in during regular home life, such as indulging in hobbies, binge-watching, or
creative home projects.
After the
blizzard hit, we were on a week-long stuckation, complete with homemade
spa days, movie marathons, and indoor
camping with the kids.
