I think that inside almost every glider pilot, there is an Anorak trying
to get out. I know I have to suppress my inner Anorak constantly

If I remember correctly the term Anorak was used to describe a jacket,
as for example a light weight Parka.
What other uses does it have?

* An anorak or parka is a type of heavy jacket with a hood, generally
lined with fur or fun fur, so as to protect the face from a combination
of sub-zero temperatures and wind. Although of Inuit origin, the word
"anorak" is mainly used in Britain, while "parka" is the almost
universal name in the United States and Canada. "Parka" is used
interchangeably with anorak in Britain. ...

* In British slang, anorak has come to mean "geek" or "nerd", for
example from the use of anoraks as the invariable wear of train
spotters, and then by extension to refer to anyone with an unfathomable
interest in detailed information regarded as boring by the rest of the
population - aided by the intuition that only a geek would wear
something so terminally unfashionable.
