Nanomoon is a neologism promoted by the wedding industry to mean “an especially short honeymoon” such as a quick trip to a nearby national park, that’s taken by a frugal couple in hopes of saving for a longer one later. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Nanomoon”
Grant, here’s a neologism that you may be tracking, Nana Moon.
Oh, this is when nanas and grandmas get drunk and they moon people from their tour bus on the way to the casino.
You know, that might not bode well for this particular term.
I think that this is a term that is being promoted by the wedding industry.
Oh, I see.
It’s a very short honeymoon then.
Yes, yes.
This is, you know, people who are making adjustments this year, and maybe they just have a very, very short honeymoon.
That is a trip to a nearby state or national park or going on a wine tour or something like that, not far from where they live.
Nanomoon, I’m not sure if it has legs, especially after your definition there, but I kind of like the idea.
Let’s go on a nanomoon.
Right.
But it’s not a thousandth of a honeymoon, though, right?
We’re going to have a 10-second honeymoon.
We leave the courthouse.
It’s the walk from the courthouse to the car.
That’s our honeymoon.
That’s kind of a lovely thought.
You know, a nanomoon every day.
I think that could be a, you know, hashtag life goal.
Parcel your honeymoon out over the rest of your life.
Sure.
I like it.
Nanomoon.
