Sprinter, an odd piece of slang that has been bandied about this very tediously long and cold winter: Winter overrode Spring.
According to some urban slang online dictionaries, the word "Sprinter," hails from Canada. (These dictionaries also include some very randy definitions, which don’t apply here).
I believe Sprinter = Spring divided by Winter or Winter overriding Spring. Whatever. Even when the sun did come out, the cold and damp was unrelenting, and we couldn’t enjoy it.
Then we had a few good days. Yaay!It was wonderful, neighbors were out smiling, chatting and the Harley motorcycles were pulled out of their garages, shined up and let out for a run! In a few weeks, the ‘pretty’ bikes will be out, ya know, the Ninjas. Back in the day, I owned at 350cc Honda and I rode it on many cold, clear days of winter in the hills of New Jersey.
Yes, that was sarcasm and bragging.
But today . . . the trees are budding, some hardy windsurfers and kite surfers have been spotted in the ocean, and soon the smell of BBQs and sunscreen will fill the air. Big Smile!
Summer at the Jersey Shore: music, great food festivals, boardwalks, beach, surf, some crowds, some chaos, but dunking in the surf, then lying on the beach is pure heaven!
