A do nothing vacation - similarly to a being starfish lying down on the beach and do nothing.
Person A - Hey, what are you doing for the weekend?
Person B - I'm going for a starfish vacation in Hawaii and do absolutely nothing.
The period of unemployment between being laid off and starting a new job.
The duration of an American Vacation can vary from a few weeks to multiple years.
The term originated as a way of noting the relatively poor vacation time offerings of most American employers. For many overworked Americans, being laid off provides the only significant vacation time they will ever receive.
"John is on an American Vacation, so he is busy updating his resume."
A temporary lapse in judgment (usually for clothing and accessories, but also artwork, furniture, etc) brought on by being in very different surroundings long enough for the "exotic" to seem normal. After even a few days, death masks, tortoise shell lamps, and turquoise sterling silver inlay mesa concho belts seem "normal," but don't think for a second that they won't stick out like a sore thumb once you're back in Springfield. People suffering Vacation Eye can be seen awkwardly strutting the beaches of Hawaii with a sarong that won't stay on, thinking that they blend in. Often you will not know you have suffered from Vacation Eye until you are back at home and realize your new Babe the Blue Ox toilet paper dispenser does *not* fit into your life.
Sadly, Vacation Eye purchases are frequently thought of as the essential item that represents the vacation itself. As such, Vacation Eye purchases can be extremely expensive (massive German coo-coo clock, silk shantung Chinese tapestry, 7 foot tall combination coat rack/lamp/fountain shaped like a dolphin)
Don't let your temporary change of scenery distort your taste: Just because the locals have it, does not mean you should. You decorated your house in American traditional, so that hand-painted throw pillow of a giant macaw *will* end up in the attic.
People who have Vacation Eye will:
1. Get dread locks or braids while vacationing in Jamaica meaning to keep them in once their vacation is over and they are back in their cubicle surrounded by standard Christian haircuts.
2. Buy a cowboy shirt/boots/buckle with the full intention of wearing it at home in Detroit.
Vacation Eye is a form of buyers remorse but the store is hundreds of miles away.
A vacation with the express purpose of taking ones penis away from its normal day to day interactions and be treated right.
Chris and Aaron went on a dick vacation to Nashville; they're going to take their dicks out for a night on the town.

A BeetleJuice vacation is a vacation where your plans involve staying home and improving your house. Hopefully, unlike the Maitlands, you won't drive over the edge of a covered bridge.
Wow, you're so lucky to have off next week.
Yeah, but I'm so poor I'm just going to take a BeetleJuice vacation.

A term that describes a wide degree of personality change that afflicts an ordinary woman when she stays more than one day in Las Vegas. Symptoms include lust for alchohol, a perpetual state of undress and a state of "heat" that can only be likened to some of that wild humping we've all seen (and enjoyed) on those Nature shows on the Discovery Channel. The relaxed moral values and the ease of suggestability that a woman with Vacation Wife suffers from is why most men like to take their wives for a weekend trip there. It's like going on vacation with a whore. A bout of Vacation Wife strikes quickly and while not typically fatal, the recovery can be unpleasant (infections, vomit, chafing, dirty text messages, incriminating photos, topless photos, promises of marriage from random strangers, YouTube videos involving the bell boy and his friends - in extreme cases, patients emerge from the disease with an insatiable desire to return to the big easy and/or wear only two-piece bathing suits). In 2007, reports of Vacation Wife came in from other areas including Punta Cana and Lake Placid.
Vacation Wife plagued Jane so terribly that each time she and John went to Las Vegas, she couldn't figure out why John insisted on going every year.

When you think someone is attractive until they take off their sunglasses and you instantly regret your decision.
It's more common in men, especially when they take mirror pictures inside wearing sunglasses. You instantly know they're ugly.
"Damn, he looks fine."
What did I tell you? You can't trust vacation face!
