An individual who lives cheaply, without normal employment, and with few amenities in order to spend as much time on the trail as possible. Used praisingly.
Oh them? They're hiker trash. You know, they pretty much just live on the trail.
Anyone who has spent more hours of their life on a trail than in their own bed and has no regard left for table manners, toilet etiquette, or similar societal norms like when to fart, burp, and shower. Generally very loud people--habits picked up on the trail to scare away natural wildlife. They're always looking for a) more food, b) another destination to go in the wilderness and c) a new way to poop, or, as they'll call it, biff.
Don't underestimate them. They can disappear in a moments notice and live off the grid for weeks on end. Typically, they always have a knife, three ways to start a fire, some gorp, and a tent on them at all times.
Mind the smell--the last time they showered was probably at least a month ago.
They are the outdoorsy version of white trash.
Dude, I went hiking with these two guys I ran into on the trail--total hikertrash! They were walking around buck nude except for their packs, and the smell was worse than something out of my dog's anus.
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
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.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
