Noun. The forty days of prayer, repentance, almsgiving, and self-denial that prepares Christians for Holy Week and imitates Jesus’ own period of fasting, meditation, and temptation in the wilderness. Today it is popular among the pseudoreligious, who abstain from nominal vices such as swearing and eating chocolate. For these vacuous individuals, Lent is a compromise to the taxing, 365-day commitment New Year’s resolutions demand.

It was lent, and for 40 days and 40 nights I gave it up. By the time Easter came around, damn was I sore!
