Gap Year Tragedy

The average student enlightened by the insight afforded by global travel to the extent of cringeworthy personality renovation.

Guy 1- Man, I saw John after he got back after his 12 months in South America- bobble hat, dreadlocks and all.

Guy 2 - I heard it was 'jean-pierre' these days

Guy 1 - What a gap year tragedy

Gap Year Anarchist

A phase common amongst more affluent males in their early twenties, which typically requires the exchange of basic hygiene for Bob Marley memorabilia, dreadlocks and second hand military clothing.

Early warning signs include the gradual slurring of speech (as made popular in the movie 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'), endless discussions of aid increases/debt reduction and an overall musky smell.

A Gap Year Anarchist will subscribe to numerous clichés. Behaviour may include voluntary summertime homelessness/squatting, throwing flour & dancing on a Cenotaph.

The phase ends when the GYA finally succumbs to pleas from his/her family and/or bank manager/student loans company/court, gets a haircut, a job and a life!

"And once again a Gap Year Anarchist succeeds in his lifetime's ambition: to get all the attention. Well done. *slow hand clap*"

(British Labour MP Tom Harris tweet, 19th of July 2011)

Old Man Gap Year

The time off between your last day of work and your first day of retirement, typically spent drinking, golfing, fishing, or drinking. Usually occurs when you’re not quite ready to retire, but you can’t stand your fucking job for another second.

I saw Fred at the golf course again yesterday. Did he retire or is he just on his “Old Man Gap Year”?
