I popped some really bright glow sticks in my Hobie Cat hulls for night sailing, and it looked like the Star Trek Next Generation Enterprise nacelles at the beginning of the show intro.
A group of kayakers went on an Adirondack Lantern paddle last night.

The row of LEDs under the main headlights on any new Audi. They always seem to be lit, no matter how bright the sun is on any particular day. They serve no purpose other than to alert other road users to the fact that the driver of the Audi owns an Audi, and that their Audi goes faster than your car. Unless you own a Porsche.

Someone who transcends awkwardness in social situations, and even can control it and use it to their own advantage. An Awkward Lantern is somebody who can talk to anybody, and redirect any awkwardness in a conversation unto the other parties, by refusing to acknowledge it. Named after the superhero Green Lantern, because whereas a Green Lantern has control over the color green, an Awkward Lantern has control over awkwardness. Although they are rare, awkward lanterns are usually very adaptable and quick-thinking individuals. A true one can be dangerous if not a friend, because they have allies in the most unexpected places.

A belief that political miracles are achieved by sheer will force. Proponents of the Green Lantern Theory have attributed failure and compromise to a lack of presidential willpower. Matthew Yglesias came up with the Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics* to ridicule conservatives who claimed "the only thing limiting us is a lack of willpower" in foreign policy. The Green Lantern Theory was later applied to the Obama Administration who seemed to lack the will power to make the radical changes in policy such as universal health care, lowering medical costs, banking reform, and peaceful negotiations that people had hoped for., especially after the Republicans took over the US House in 2011.
Bernie supporters are big proponents of Green Lanternism and fail to recognize this kind of “Presidentmania” where the President can get anything done if he really wanted to, fails to take into account the significant amount of bureaucracy legal barriers, and the number players the president has to deal with such as legislators, special interests and Jurists who often do everything in their power to block the president from making these achievements.

A hoe lantern is the hoe of all hoes. This hoe leads all other hoes with the light of a hundred candles.
A hoe lantern is someone who sleeps with your husband in your bed and then dabs on a little of your perfume on the way out.
A hoe lantern is the destroyer of innocence; she teaches young children to be hoe-like breeding a whole new generation of hoes.
A hoe lantern will run you over with her car and then pick up your boyfriend at the funeral.
Hoe lanterns... just the worst.
