Interesting article on Boing Boing 
An example or two ..
Eat the frog – As the saying goes: "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." The idea being to get the most unpleasant/daunting tasks out of the way first thing. This saying is often attributed to Mark Twain, but it actually predates him.
Grail [item] – An extremely hard-to-find object that you are forever looking for but unlikely to ever find. E.g., a grail book, or tool, or game.
Makecation – Termed coined by Phil Torrone of Adafruit. A play on "staycation," where you take time off but don't go anywhere, and in this case, dedicate yourself to a special summer project (or two).
I've done makations for years, very enjoyable
