Being overconfident and reckless. Not knowing your limits. The phrase comes from the tale of Icarus, a young man who flew too close to the sun and fell from the sky when his wings melted. It's a tale of caution, warning us to remember our limitations.

In season 3, episode 12 of The Office, which is titled 'Back From Vacation,' Michael has an inappropriate photo of his boss, Jan Levinson. He accidentally sends the photo to Darryl and it becomes viral around the office. The name of the jpeg file was, 'Jamaica Jan Sun Princess.' If your friends name starts with a J, its also looked upon as clever to replace 'Jan' with their name.
Michael Scott: I have a special assignment for you.
Dwight Schrute: Who's the target?
Michael Scott: A sensitive email has been released to the office. It contains a file. A picture. Filename is Jamaica Jan Sun Princess.

When the winter is finally over and it is just starting to get warm, you wear your short sleeve polo shirts to work rather than a long sleeve. This particularly applies to musclehead italians from the tri-state area who have been dying to show off their bi's and tri's all winter.
-"hey Paul, nice shirt-short sleeves already??"
-"yep. sun's out guns out"
-"but Paul, it's mid April?"
-what do you mean???
