Silver Lining 

The principle that every bad situation produces something good or teaches some lesson. It is derived from the fact that clouds, even though dark, often have bright silver edges where the sun reflects.

2020 was a terrible year, but the silver lining was I got to do school from the comfort of home, finally wasn't constantly busy, got to play lots and lots of video games, and learned to appreciate a normal world.

Silver lining 

"Look for the silver lining" is a suggestion that has been said so often it may appear trite to some. But it actually contains a very deep wisdom, that can help us all to get through difficulties.

"Every cloud has a silver lining" means that every difficulty or setback that causes harm, also contains a potential for a beneficent outcome. By searching for any positive effects of any difficulty or confusing circumstance, we can begin to feel more inner peace in response to the situation, thus regaining our ability to solve it if we can, or accept it if we can't.

I was so distraught that the cyclone had ripped apart our house, and destroyed everything I owned, that I became morose and helpless, unable to do anything. But I noticed that the entire neighborhood were all helping each other, talking to each other cheerfully, sympathetically, showing kindnesses and support in a way they never had before, and I began to recognize that there was a silver lining even in this disaster!

Slack Lining 

A business maneuver in which an employee continually sends insubordinate emails to his/her boss with the intent of embarrassment and or emasculation. Similar to the outdoor practice of slack lining it can be risky and carry with it the complete destruction of one's career.

John was really slack lining when he sent his boss an email with all the ways he had misinterpreted the sales data, luckily he copied the CEO on the email and his boss was later fired.

Lanning 

When two or more people setup their computers on the same local area network (LAN), and in most cases, play video games together. People lanning often host LAN Parties consisting of many people on the same LAN, and like to do things like pull allnighters and consume TONS of caffeine. Currently, most people like to lan together to play first person shooters, or strategic games in which it is very important to communicate.

George: Hey Fred, you wanna go see a movie tomorrow night?
Fred: Sorry dude, tommorow I'm gonna be Lanning with some friends.. You can come as long as you bring your own computer and LAN cable, though!
George: Well I don't know, it depends what you guys are gonna be playing.
Fred: Don't worry man, we're gonna be playin Starcraft and CounterStrike.
George: Sweet, I'm in!
Fred: Yeah, but don't forget to bring your own caffeine!
