Every so often the clever girls behind Daily Candy introduce the Lexicon. Often its full of silly names to call boys who never call back or rude sales girls who won't sell you the same pair of shoes Gywneth Paltrow once bought.

But this time, the Lexicon calls out two NYC hotels.

See below for words and their meanings.

gansevoria:
n. The haze that comes over one when sitting on the Gansevoort rooftop in the summer, characterized by a willingness to buy $18 cocktails and a lack of care when said drinks take 30 minutes to arrive.

marislime:
n. The clientele who fill the Maritime Hotel's courtyard and bars at night. 2. Nighttime scenes characterized by thick clouds of smoke and sweaty faux hipsters.
