Blogger's Tan

Proper Noun; 1. The pasty vampire-like color of ones skin who never comes into contact with direct sunlight. To be interchangeable with Editor's Tan (A term granted to editor's, generally vile creatures who dwell in dark cave-like spaces in which they hover over computer screens compiling video information for the completion of a form of entertainment.)

The "Blogger's Tan" was dubbed such because historically those who sit at computers all day and night rarely come into contact with actual natural light. This grants them a glowy sort of halo when they walk around underneath any kind of artificial light source.

The "Blogger's Tan" was first coined by television show producer Nick Pavonetti in early 2009 when he saw someone who blogs for a living and accused them of having the "Blogger's Tan". Since then it has begun catching on and spreading throughout small groups within the Hollywood scene.
"Wow, dude that guy's got a major Blogger's Tan."
"You mean he's really pale?"
"Yes... That's exactly what i mean."

"Man whenever I go out into the sun I burn up like a fricken' tinder box. Damn this blogger's tan!"

Hick Tan

When a person appears to have a tan, but is actually just covered in dirt. It occurs when people go long periods of time without bathing, and mainly effects parts of the body that are exposed would normally get tan (forearms, calves, and face). Hick tans are most common during camping/hiking trips, on people who play muddy/dusty sports such as soccer or baseball, or amongst people who live in the country with a lot of dust and dirt, possibly on farms (AKA hicks….sorry). One may notice that somebody has a hick tan because layers of dirt will be visible, or begin to crack on the surface of their skin. Also, if it rains, or if the person gets wet, they will become significantly whiter since the dirt will run off and because it is impossible to absorb sunlight with a hick tan.
Guy1: Wow. Schoolmate1 got really tan from that backpacking trip.
Guy2: No Guy1, that's just a hick tan. He hasn't bathed since he left for it.

Or

GuyA: Girl1 had such a nice tan until yesterday. I wonder if she spray-tans?
GuyB: It rained yesterday. I'd bet she had a hick tan from working on her field earlier this week.
