catch some rays

To lie outside in the sun, to sunbathe.

Background for the word: The term originates from a 1998 conference at a Tampa Hilton hotel. I came to attend from Norway, where I used this term in my own language. So I just translated it and used it about going to the pool area. People thought it was funny and started using it too. I guess they spread it all over the country afterwards. A couple of years later I couldn't believe my ears when I saw some TV show and somebody there said it...
It's such a beautiful day, why don't we go to the beach to catch some rays?
