A belief system that gives itself the trappings of a science when it actually doesn't adhere much to the scientific method. Can range from something as mild as cryptozoology ("monster hunting", which has its heart in the right place but is far too uncritical of things) to various New Age beliefs, creationism, alternative medicine, etc. etc.

My friend went to a chiropractor, but after he found out that the whole field was a psuedoscience he decided to get massages at home.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
