I thought of others – such as the S&M version, the Flaycation – but as that example demonstrates, I should probably keep them to myself. (The words, I mean, not the….er, anyway).

Praycation - I love it! If you haven't seen that anywhere already, I bet it'll jump into the public conscious over the next year!... I agree, I'm still trying to catch up on old words without all this novelty ;-) Actually, I think it’s only the British media who adore those expressions, and then only through laziness; for all other users it’s more a seeping in that they are powerless to resist (But I resist, I ALWAYS resist!!!)

You reckon it's actually adored by someone out there? ;) I think we should track them down and lock them into their home for a few weeks, like some twisted Sims experiment, with the phone ringing all day and night and the plumbing backed up and the lights coming on at random. Then we can ask them again, they snottily gibber something about Hell, and finally 'staycation' is no more. It's a dream I have. Good point about Cornwall. And I sympathize. East Yorkshire is similar. In 2 hours I can either get to King's Cross in London (150+ miles away), or Hornsea (40 miles away). In fact that's a lie, it's 2.5 hours to Hornsea. Next up? Landcations, where you can't fly? Praycations, adventures with spiritual elements? Death to all new words. We have enough already, use *them*. English-speakers, go Green with your own language!</b> Oooh, controversy. You reckon it’s actually adored by someone out there? ;)
