Hiking the Appalachian Trail

Going AWOL on your job to have a clandestine affair.

"Where has Joe been for the last three days? He didn't tell us that he'll be taking time off!"

"Uh... He's hiking the Appalachian Trail."

"Oh. In that case, where's the pink slip?"

Hikikomori

Hikikomori is a term used in Japan to describe people who act as recluses and rarely leave their houses, preferring to spend their days and nights usually on the internet, especially on Japan's 2ch. Since such people hold no job, they state their occupation as 'hikikomori', which literally means 'home security guard' as a means to sugar-coat their unemployment, and generally nerd, status.

I'm not going to go out at all this summer- I'm going to stay home and be hikikomori.

hiking the appalachian

In June, 2009, South Carolina governor Mark Sanford disappeared from public sight for five days, a period during which neither his wife nor much of his staff apparently knew where he had gone. A Sanford spokesperson eventually told reporters that the Governor was on a secretive hike along the Appalachian Trial to clear his head after a tough legislative session. Turns out that Sanford had actually been in Argentina where he had been conducting an extra-marital affair.

"Why is Bob's wife angry with him?"

"He got caught hiking the Appalachian, if you know what I mean."
