Neologisms: Noynoying and Staycation

People have been coming out with new words all the time and social media is making it spread as crazily. Here are a few that have been going around + an exclusive chance to experience a staycation first hand!!

Noynoying

Noynoying (pronounced noy-noy-YING or noy-NOY-ying) is a protest gimmick in the form of neologism which critics of Philippine President Benigno Aquino III have used to question his work ethic, alleging inaction on Aquino's part on the issues of disaster response and of rising oil prices. A play on the term planking and Aquino's nickname, "Noynoy", Noynoying involves posing in a lazy manner, such as sitting idly while resting their heads on one hand and doing nothing. -- Wikipedia

Because we're people who barely keep up with depressing political news, we really didn't know that this neologism existed until Yahoo! Philippines polled its readers. We were even surprised that it has its own page in both Wikipedia and the L.A Times!

Staycation

A staycation (also spelled stay-cation, stacation, or staykation) is a neologism for a period in which an individual or family stays and relaxes at home, possibly taking day trips to area attraction. [...] Common activities of a staycation include use of the backyard pool, visits to local parks and museums, and attendance at local festivals. Some staycationers also like to follow a set of rules, such as setting a start and end date, planning ahead, and avoiding routine, with the goal of creating the feel of a traditional vacation. -- Wikipedia

Not everyone has a backyard pool and sometimes staying at home is even more stressful. Go and getaway minus the painful driving and expensive charges! A lavish staycation in a 4* hotel may just do it! For a very limited time, AtCrazy is offering this ~Mystery Deal~! Visit AtCrazy.com now and be part of this recessionista trend!
