Anorak, a term of abuse
Anorak, a term of abuseA.no.rak noun. [Esk. (Greenland) anoraq] a heavy jacket with a hood.In the UK this form of coat was worn by all children in the 1970s, but worn now only by socially disfunctional adults who still wear the trousers they wore to school (despite the fact they never covered their ankles even back when they were 14 years old).alsoTrain.spo.tting verb. [UK] the activity of recording with pen and paper, the serial numbers from the side of railway locomotives.Trainspotting was a common childhood pursuit of British children in the post-war period, it comes under that category of hobbies that involve collecting. It is possible to buy books listing the serial numbers of all the railway rolling stock in the country and then check off each one as it is seen. Adults who practice this activity are naturally seen as dull, and immature, because the majority of people find other pursuits more attractive once they have passed the legal age for sex and alcohol.These two phenomena in British society have given rise to a new use for the term 'anorak' (an article of clothing often worn by 'trainspotters') to mean any dull individual, or someone with a boring hobby. Hence I could be described as a Stone Circle ANORAK.This seems like a good point to add my personal theory on the *excellent* film and novel, Trainspotting. The subject of the book is heroin addiction which is a high risk high return activity - something diametrically opposed to trainspotting, which has no risk attached and no experiential gain to be made.geovisit();
