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.

Lazer Mazer

When a person shows up to a party completely plastered to a party or gathering and makes a spectical of themselves. This person then becomes the object of attention and a source of entertainment. This is especially applies to in-school settings, such as a lunchroom or studyhall.

"HOLY SHIT I HAVE WEED IN MY PURSE!" screamed Eliza as she lay on a sofa at a huge party throwing up chunks of vomit.

"Jesus Christ, she's pulling a Lazer Mazer again." said Kenny

Awkward Lantern

Someone who transcends awkwardness in social situations, and even can control it and use it to their own advantage. An Awkward Lantern is somebody who can talk to anybody, and redirect any awkwardness in a conversation unto the other parties, by refusing to acknowledge it. Named after the superhero Green Lantern, because whereas a Green Lantern has control over the color green, an Awkward Lantern has control over awkwardness. Although they are rare, awkward lanterns are usually very adaptable and quick-thinking individuals. A true one can be dangerous if not a friend, because they have allies in the most unexpected places.

"I can't believe he got invited to that party!"
"Of course he did. He's an Awkward Lantern."

Wanker Lanterns

The row of LEDs under the main headlights on any new Audi. They always seem to be lit, no matter how bright the sun is on any particular day. They serve no purpose other than to alert other road users to the fact that the driver of the Audi owns an Audi, and that their Audi goes faster than your car. Unless you own a Porsche.

"Oh look, an Audi driver has driven right up behind me with his Wanker Lanterns on."

Green Lanternism

A belief that political miracles are achieved by sheer will force. Proponents of the Green Lantern Theory have attributed failure and compromise to a lack of presidential willpower. Matthew Yglesias came up with the Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics* to ridicule conservatives who claimed "the only thing limiting us is a lack of willpower" in foreign policy. The Green Lantern Theory was later applied to the Obama Administration who seemed to lack the will power to make the radical changes in policy such as universal health care, lowering medical costs, banking reform, and peaceful negotiations that people had hoped for., especially after the Republicans took over the US House in 2011.

Bernie supporters are big proponents of Green Lanternism and fail to recognize this kind of “Presidentmania” where the President can get anything done if he really wanted to, fails to take into account the significant amount of bureaucracy legal barriers, and the number players the president has to deal with such as legislators, special interests and Jurists who often do everything in their power to block the president from making these achievements.
