Learn the Term "To Clark" - It Is A Blatant Blatancy

My friends and use a lot of very weird terms and variations of words. For instance, something good is known as a "blatant blatancy." To feel so full that you feel fat, you say you feel "like a fat Jared" - that is, the formerly fat version of Subway's Jared Fogle. But my favorite term is "to Clark" - a verb meaning, as my good friend Matt Villano says, "To overly plan an adventure in an attempt to make sure everyone will have a great time, only to see the plans backfire, causing disastrous results."

Matt can be a huge Clark. In fact, he arguably has a case of Clarkitis - an inflammation of his Clark lobe (same goes for me, of course). This makes him perfectly suited to being a travel writer, and I highly recommend his post on his latest experience clarking himself into the ground. Check it out here.
