a tan you get after spending a day drinking wine in the park;
often leaving you tan only in the areas your v neck, cut off shorts, and vans don't cover;
similar to a farmer's tan, but not;

The tan that many white girls get around the spring break time, in which their skin is brown.
Also to mean "brown on the outside, but white on the inside."

She came out of the tanning salon- she was white when she went in, but she's freaking BROWN now. She got a biscuit tan.

man tan
This was the brand name for a self-tanning lotion created in the 1960's, to appeal to a male audience. By extension, any tan that's "man tan" is fake. The expression is commonly used to mean an artificial suntan in both the US and the UK.

1) She put on man tan the day before she went to the beach so she wouldn't be fish-belly white her first day out.
2) UK usage:
"The £2.99 man tan on sale"
"No need to hit the beach anymore. It's not usually men who get accused of faking it - but that may be about to change. Preening males can now look bronzed to perfection - with the launch of a cheap fake tan aimed exclusively at them. It gives a gradual tan, so they don't go from Peter Crouch to Peter Andre overnight.
" 'British men are more image-conscious than ever,' said the manager of the supermarket selling it. 'We hope it helps blokes achieve the glow they're after, without the tell-tale streaks.' "
3) USA usage:
" As a native Californian trapped in New York, I’ve watched my former consistently bronze glow fade to a somewhat gray shade of pale. So…what’s a guy to do, you may be thinking? (...) I hit the city streets in search of a sunless man tan. (... I chose) the spa’s 'organic spray' tan, which promises a natural looking tan using a unique combination of mineral salt bronzers, beets, sugarcane and the approved cosmetic tanning agent, DHA 20."

An ugly tan line across the middle of one's forehead resulting from being outside in the blistering sun for several hours while wearing a graduation cap.
Diane: "What's that discoloration on your forehead?"
Jack: "Oh, this? It's my graduate's tan from my college commencement service. It's like my second diploma. Having this is proof that I'm smart!"

Trucker's (trucker's) tan is far more commonly used than "trucker's arm". It's used when recognizing that a person's left arm (driver's side arm) is tanner/redder than his right arm.
It's used in the same way a person would be said to have a "farmer's tan" if both his forearms were tan/red up to the point where his (short) shirt-sleeves end on the upper part of the arms.

With the ubiquity of air conditioning in cars today, "trucker's tans" are seen much less frequently. But if noticing a person's left arm is red/tan (but not the right), say, "Hey Joe, you been driving a truck? You got a 'trucker's tan', my friend!"
In the same way, upon noticing the whiteness of a friend's upper arms in contrast to their forearms, you might say, "Hey Joe! You been out farming today? You got a 'farmer's tan', my friend!"
