Staycation
The meaning of this word is how it sounds — a vacation where you stay home instead of going away. “Staycation” first appeared in print in a 2003 Myrtle Beach Sun News article:
By definition, a “vacation” should involve vacating, as in going away. Mine was more like a “stay-cation” — nine glorious days and nights in Myrtle Beach. Millions of tourists do the same, and understandably so. But when you live here year-round, the last thing you want to do is go through the summertime blues in your own backyard, even if it happens to have an ocean.

By 2008, the word started to be commonly used, as more people started staying home due to high gas prices. In 2009, it was added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, and in 2010 it was added to the Oxford English Dictionary. Thus, it’s official.
