Since when did a UK holiday equal a 'staycation'?

See poll thing on front page. Do we now have to leave these shores for a holiday to actually count?

i generally only leave the country if I’m being paid too.

actually I generally only leave the southwest if I’m being paid too.

“staycation” is just one of those annoying, **** words that seems to be popular at the moment.

Can you still chillax on a staycation?

The cast-iron laws of physics clearly state that the word ‘staycation’ only has a finite amount of uses before triggering a catastrophic series of events that are guaranteed to lead to the wettest summer since records began

A staycation is a holiday where you stay at your house but go on day trips out.

the way i understood it was its a stay at home to save money holiday, not a holiday within the UK…

Dammit, I didn’t realise the differences! I went and booked a gaycation, Still I’m sure it will be fine, I mean what could go wrong?

Surely with a name like chiefgrooveguru you’d be down with the lingo? I’m off to watch a Bro-mance.

you wont be allowed in the b&b charlie!

I mean what could go wrong?

Doing CHARLIE with US could lead to MUNG

Yeah, fo’ shizzle I is. But CaptJon is quite correct, the portmanteau ‘staycation’ refers to staying at home, not merely in the same country! I refuse to have almost all my childhood holidays rebranded with such a silly word. Innit.

Innit, Chief. 🙂

There are so many great places in the UK to go, I’ve no interest in going overseas for a holiday.

95% of the media output of this country is stupid drivel. This is one part of that. Simply refrain from using it and hopefully it’ll vanish and take all but the useful 5% of the media with it.

It’s the latest in a long line of stupid portmanteaux. I mean, “SamCam” FFS.
