An interesting phone in on BBC Radio 2 (well I enjoy Jeremey Vine anyway) It would seem Staycation means you stay at home in your own home and garden area. As opposed to the new Americanism via Media outlets which says this means gander around your own country. It would seem Staycation means stay home and not meaning have a holiday in the UK whilst 50 years ago we all did go on holiday in the UK we never had a staycation, I really can't remember my father saying this Summer we are haiving a staycation he said OK for our Summer Holiday we are going to.......we are going on holiday, be it Devon, Cornwall, the Lake District up to Scotland we said we were going on holiday... Just interested in the power of Social Media and how they have changed our own British language into more Americaisms
