Adirondack lantern

Noun - A water vessel (e.g. kayak) where the semi-translucent hull is illuminated from within at night; like a Floating Chinese lantern.

We put headlamps in the bow and stern of a rotomolded kayak to make it glow and paddled across Upper Saranac Lake.

I popped some really bright glow sticks in my Hobie Cat hulls for night sailing, and it looked like the Star Trek Next Generation Enterprise nacelles at the beginning of the show intro.

A group of kayakers went on an Adirondack Lantern paddle last night.

affirmative blaction

A cheapshot program mandated by some government agencies and institutions to give preference to Africans based on their skin color alone, it can be used by females and certain other races as well, but africans are the main benefactor, hence the definition.

I can't believe it...I lost a spot at UM even though I have a higher test score to the other guy due to Affirmative Blaction giving him a 20 point raise in the test scores! /=(

cyber-affirmation

noun or verb

The act of self-declaration via twitter or facebook of what you are currently "doing" (BESIDES typing into facebook or twitter - which is what you are ACTUALLY DOING!) in an attempt to publicly validate your social status and to make it look like you are not a loner or a loser that needs virtual validation to give yourself a sense of self-worth. (As my friend put it, posting that you are doing laundry is not a "status update" - it's a cry for help!)

Dan is totally into cyber-affirmation. He updates his facebook status ten times a day. As if we really want to read a play-by-play of his laundry chore.

tapping the admiral
