Staycation..

Staycation seems to be the new word for holidaying in your own country.
It seems to have replaced, vacation and holiday!

More and more strange words seem to be infiltrating the English language.

Is this a word you are familiar with?

Mags, So, like me, you hadn’t heard it before?

I like how you’ve fallen in love with the word!

Pauline, Apparently, it is used a lot on television and in the media.
I googled it and it seems it’s been around since 2004!

Re: Staycation..

Yes I've heard of it before Art only recently though I was thinking words we now use.... how about Brexit and lockdown or binge-watch or maybe snowflake which has a new meaning these days

It’s the first time I’ve heard the name Art

To me it will be a reminder of us surviving this dreadful year...
