Thinking About a Stay-cation this Summer?
June 13th, 2008 by HeywoodThe word Wal-Mart is pushing on you this summer is Staycation.
Stay·ca·tion [stey-key-shuh-n] noun.
1. A vacation that is spent at one’s home enjoying all that home and one’s home environs have to offer.
Sentence: With the economy in such shambles, I’m gonna take a staycation this year – I think I’ll check out what Wal-Mart is selling and later come up with some more portmanteaux…
Definition via Urbandictionary.
[Update from Heywood]: Check out John Hodgman’s piece on the “Holistay.”

Did you see John Hodgman’s “staycation” piece on the Daily Show this week? I searched youtube & thedailyshow.com, but couldn’t find it… sure it will show up at some point. Find it, link to it, laugh at it! Hilarious.

Actually Hodgman’s ‘Holistay’ piece was the inspiration for this. HILARIOUS!
