Depends on where you live... if you live in NYC, i think a 'staycation' would be great fun. If you live in podunk, alabama on the other hand...

Praycation, when it's time to repent.

My boss about blew a gasket but kept his mouth shut when he found out I was going to take 3 days off (total 10 days off due to compressed shift) and do nothing.

 

[maziwanka]

this is the first time i've ever heard of a "staycation"

 

[InflatableBuddha]

If you're a farmer, is it called a "hay-cation"?
If you're a coke dealer, is it called a "yay-cation"?
If you spend your time off trying to hook up, is it called a "lay-cation"?

Hey... how many other places can you go out on the lake, go mud riding, shoot your dinner, fish up your wife's dinner, grill it all up, make some hooch for the evening, and do that all within a 2 mile radius?

A vacation is like a staycation where you vacuum the house.

No. Vacation == away from work.

Woo, ATX ATOT members in full effect.

No. Paid time off or personal day = away from work.

Day trip = away from work + away from home

Vacation == away from work + away from home and spending at least one night away from home

 

[Iron Woode]

preycation if you're a pedo.

 

[thomsbrain]

What if you have a staycation while driving a new-to-me car?

 

[Zedtom]

Everybody talks about using a sick day for a mental health getaway from their job...I suggest they call that a daycation.

I prefer to hang out with some off-put Jewish friends and have an Oy Veycation.

To most people, a real vacation is a myth because they don't get time off to actually go anywhere, or they aren't paid enough to actually afford to go anywhere when they are off.

a coworker once took a week long staycation. He stayed in his house all week playing video games and drinking Guinness. apparently he had alcohol withdrawals when he came back to work. haha

Google archives pages and articles that are years old.
As time goes by, implied meaning of words change. With the introduction of terms such as staycation and daycation, there is now a distinction between those and a tradition vacation.

If you are not working when most others at your place of work ARE working, you are on vacation. It doesn't matter where you go or what you do, it's still a vacation in my mind... just varying degrees of how awesome said vacation is.

Sounds about where the current definition stands. However, I tend to make a distinction between a vacation day, sick day, or mental health day (if you just can't take it anymore). If you are at home, it isn't a vacation.
