Reach-Frame

Reach-frame (noun):
A term derived from the medical concept of "reframe," denoting the act of excessively attempting to reframe a situation with an overly optimistic perspective. It's the process of trying to see the bright side of everything, even when it might not be appropriate or realistic.
Example:
Person 1: "I just got fired from my job, but it's okay because now I have more time to focus on my hobbies and find a better opportunity!"
Person 2: "Whoa, don't reach-frame it too much. Losing your job is tough, it's okay to acknowledge that."

Eggenoggin Reach

A waterway in Maine's Penobscot Bay where people hold an annual sailing-regatta and swig huge quantities of traditional Christmas milk-based beverage.
I really love both watching sailing-yachts and guzzling Christmas-cordial, and so I always make a point to attend da annual festivities at Eggenoggin Reach; da only prob is dat I invariably "go overboard" at said boating-event (pun not intended, but it still works well :P), and so I end up with sunburned eyelids and a major case of eggnoggin afterwards!
