funraniumBecause I had to define a few things for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rick_day , I thought I'd repost them here.
"The Ice" (n) - Colloquial name for the continent of Antarctica.
Polie (n) - A person who has wintered-over at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
Polie (adj.) - 1. Pretaining to the actions, people, or places at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. 2. Patently crazy, primarily evidence being the willing agreement to spend a year at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
Winter-Over (n) - A person who has stayed at one of the Antarctic stations through an Austral winter.
Winter-Over (adj.) - Crazy
Toast (n) - The state of diminished faculties associated with a winter spent at one of the Antarctic stations, likely related to thyroid hormone imbalance due to extended darkness and cold.
Toasty (adj.) - A descriptor of foolish acts or person who is likely suffering thyroid hormone imbalances due to a winter-over conditions.
Taking from these definitions, a Polie is double crazy.
