Boss Brian's definitions

in the Hamptons

A state of mind in which the person is unrealistic, verging on being delusional. Being out-of-it.

All of those people who bought those sub-prime mortgages must have been "in the Hamptons" when they did that. Or,

I was hiking in the Appalachians, hit my head on a rock, and was "in the Hamptons" for an hour or so.

meantor

A mentor-worthy person in one's life whose example has been regrettably ignored. A could-have-been/should-have-been mentor. Someone you meant to follow as your mentor.

My father was my meantor. He was a worthy man who led a good life. I, on the other hand, have led a thoroughly slovenly, worthless life and have ignored my father's example at every turn.
