American Vacation

The period of unemployment between being laid off and starting a new job.

The duration of an American Vacation can vary from a few weeks to multiple years.

The term originated as a way of noting the relatively poor vacation time offerings of most American employers. For many overworked Americans, being laid off provides the only significant vacation time they will ever receive.

Vacation Eye

A temporary lapse in judgment (usually for clothing and accessories, but also artwork, furniture, etc) brought on by being in very different surroundings long enough for the "exotic" to seem normal. After even a few days, death masks, tortoise shell lamps, and turquoise sterling silver inlay mesa concho belts seem "normal," but don't think for a second that they won't stick out like a sore thumb once you're back in Springfield. People suffering Vacation Eye can be seen awkwardly strutting the beaches of Hawaii with a sarong that won't stay on, thinking that they blend in. Often you will not know you have suffered from Vacation Eye until you are back at home and realize your new Babe the Blue Ox toilet paper dispenser does *not* fit into your life.

Sadly, Vacation Eye purchases are frequently thought of as the essential item that represents the vacation itself. As such, Vacation Eye purchases can be extremely expensive (massive German coo-coo clock, silk shantung Chinese tapestry, 7 foot tall combination coat rack/lamp/fountain shaped like a dolphin)

Don't let your temporary change of scenery distort your taste: Just because the locals have it, does not mean you should. You decorated your house in American traditional, so that hand-painted throw pillow of a giant macaw *will* end up in the attic.
People who have Vacation Eye will:
1. Get dread locks or braids while vacationing in Jamaica meaning to keep them in once their vacation is over and they are back in their cubicle surrounded by standard Christian haircuts.

2. Buy a cowboy shirt/boots/buckle with the full intention of wearing it at home in Detroit.

Vacation Eye is a form of buyers remorse but the store is hundreds of miles away.

vacational rehabilitation

A recovery program for assisting people in returning to work after a relaxing vacation, which has caused them to become so accustomed to an easy/pleasant lifestyle that they have literally forgotten how to perform labor.
Tronald Dump has never done a lick of real work in his life, so I seriously doubt that vacational rehabilitation would work very well for him in learning to be a proper president, since he has never known how to do anything honest/useful to begin with.

Vacation Baby

A person who is deep in vacation mode with no concept of time, does whatever they feel like when they feel like it in the sweetest, most preciouslike (aka babylike) ways.
A vacation baby does things that include, but are not limited to: showering excessively, going pantless for days, overfeeding the pets, continual alcohol intake and happy hours, bikes up and down oceanfront properties, getting your car towed in Malibu, etc

Hope Vacation

Specific to the state of Georgia: The first of year of college spent drinking, partying, and otherwise experimenting with everything they can find to put into their bodies. From the Hope Scholarship (given to high school graduates with a B average or better). Students often attend college for free and party their way to failing out after the first year. Such students are said to have taken the Hope Vacation: a year of raging in the dorms for free courtesy of the Georgia taxpayer.
