Examples: LANsmas (Christmas), New LAN's Eve (New Year's Eve), LANt (Lent), LANster (Easter), LANsover (Passover), LANzaa (Kwanzaa), LANbor Day (Arbor Day or Labor Day), LANoween (Halloween), All LANts Day (All Saints Day), Good LANday (Good Friday), Holy LANsday (Holy Thursday), Holy LANturday (Holy Saturday), Passion LANday (Passion Sunday), LANukkah (Hanukkah), LAN20 (420), LANxing Day (Boxing Day), LANsidents Day (Presidents Day), Fourth of JuLAN (Fourth of July), LANteran's Day (Veteran's Day), Cinco de LANyo (Cinco de Mayo), Dia de los LANtos (Dia de los Muertos), LANmorial Day (Memorial Day), Ash LANsday (Ash Wednesday), LAN Kippur (Yom Kippur), Rosh HashLANah (Rosh Hashanah), LANSgiving (Thanksgiving), LANentine's Day (Valentine's Day), LANada Day (Canada Day), LANhog Day (Groundhog Day), LANtoria Day (Victoria Day), Pi LANproximation Day (Pi Approximation Day), and more.

I always look forward to the LAN Holiday season. It's the only time of year that I get to gather with my nerd friends in my parents' cold basement for Starcraft and get pissed off to no end because no one can seem to set up the network. We never learn from the year before.

My husband gave me a free pass this weekend to bang the neighbor boy because he'll be out of town with his buddies on a fishing trip.

pratfaller

1. Someone who intentionally falls for the purpose of comedy.
2. Someone who intentionally falls in want of attention.

1. Famed pratfaller Chevy Chase was hilarious on the original Saturday Night Live.
2. Joyce is a habitual pratfaller because she demands to be at the center of attention at all times. It's really very sad.

spamorama

A term associated with online bulletin boards (see bulletin board). A spamorama takes either the form of a topic forum itself or a post within a forum. Its function is to serve as a place to concentrate spam in order to avoid topic disruption. It is also a place where users work on increasing their postcount without actually contributing anything to the forum or user community.

History: The first spamorama appeared in the Discussion Forum at Guitar Tab Universe's user bulletin board.

Isn't it kind of pathetic that 99% of your posts are in the spamorama?

boho chic

A fashion trend that is part bohemian and part chic. It is tied to the vintage phenomenom in fashion where the trend was to bring back vintage styles for the modern era. Boho chic combines organic, colorful, detailed, folk-inspired pieces with simple, modern pieces. An example would be wearing a beaded peasant dress with a white tanktop.

The trend is said to have been started by actress Sienna Miller in 2005. She wore bohemian-style clothing in the movie Alfie and continued to sport the garb regularly in London. People began to imitate this style, and fashion designers took notice.

Boho chic may be hot now, but it'll be dead by 2007.
