anorak
derogatory term for an often socially inept person, having an obsessive interest in a hobby or subject. Usually has little or no fashion sense, and errs towards eccentricity. Originates from the "trainspotter" look, of wearing anoraks; spending so much time at the end of station platforms in all weathers necessitates the wearing of such attire

Anorak
- This article is about the article of clothing. For an alternate meaning see Anorak (slang).
An anorak or parka is a type of heavy jacket with a hood, often lined with fur or fake fur, so as to protect the face from a combination of freezing temperatures and wind.
This kind of garment, originally made from caribou or seal was invented by the Inuit (Eskimo) of the Arctic region, who needed clothing that would protect them from wind chill and wet while hunting and kayaking. The word anorak comes from the Kalaallisut word anoraq, while the word parka is of Aleut origin. Certain types of Inuit anoraks have to be regularly coated with fish oil to keep their water resistance.
