The South Jersey word for "Secret Santa": A game in which you secretly draw a person's name out of a hat and then you have to buy that person a gift. POLLYANNA!
"Who did you draw for pollyanna this year?"
"Shhh... I got Liz. I think I'm going to buy her a webcam because I heard thats what she wants this year."

I lost my job, my girlfriend and someone stole my car. What the fuck do you mean I should cheer up, Pollyanna?

The one and only who believes the morning sun will always shine again, a pot of gold waits at every rainbow's end, in roses kissed with dew, in make believe, fairy tales, lucky charms, promises spoken as you cross your heart, in skies forever blue, in silver linings, there will come a day (possibly tomorrow), a dream can still come true, friends and laughter, the wonders love can do, songs and magic, miracles, second chances, and finally, in you!
You can call them "Pollyanna"
Say they're crazy as a loon.
They believe in second chances
And that's why the believe in you!!!

News, economists, and personalities in the media and politics downplay growing disasters or negative outcomes when being direct is an inconvenient truth.
I read an article on the economy that use a lot of pollyanna speak when it comes to how bad the recession is going to get.
