The Alaskan word of the day:
chee·cha·ko/CHiˈCHäkō/
Noun: A person newly arrived in the mining districts of Alaska or northwestern Canada
Obviously Jessica and I qualify after transplanting from San Diego. I still smile every time I see snow falling and I enjoy stepping outside on our balcony just to take deep breaths of freezing air. I'm not sure if you graduate from cheecako status after your first winter but if so we are only a few months away.
So its like haole--except for cold places!
