Farmer's tan (adjective/possibly a noun) having a tan from mid-bicep down, but lack of tan from mid-bicep up. One lift of one's short sleeve shirt sleeve will show the amount of paleness one has.
It's that time of year where sitting inside seems almost crazy to think about which is why I have been spending my time outside studying while taking in the rays along with the exhaust from the nearby cars. After a total of 2 days I have already developed a farmers tan that even old McDonald would be proud of! What makes me feel better is that all the other guys walking on campus have them too. So apparently farmer's tans are all in style this season. Usually I would take care of this problem by rolling up my sleeves a little bit, but then I realized how AWESOME I look when I do that (little sarcasm there). When I have my unbearably pale arms I usually go running sometime during the day so I can knock out my run while at the same time soaking up some rays, but the past couple of weeks have been a little unorganized schedule wise.
I am not the kind of guy who would lay out and soak up some sun while sipping on a little fruity drink. I am the kind of guy who would rather cut the grass, play some football or ultimate frisbee, or hang out at the lake in order to get a tan. I would consider running as a "farmer's tan" because running is not about looking good, picking up girls, or having someone else do work for you because running is hard nosed-sweaty-dedicated work. In running you get what you put into your running. Farmer tans for some people say 'hey that guy needs to lay out more,' but when I see a farmer's tan I see someone who has put in hours and hours of hard work and dedication. Maybe nowadays more people should have farmer tans? What I am trying to say is that things in life are not always going to be as glamorous or sugar coated like everyone would like them to be, but hard work and dedication, just like burnt arms, will show people the person you really are.
