Bizcation. (At least I hadn't heard it before. Had you?) Not hard to figure out what it means though. You work on your business while on vacation. I think it was Laura Roeder who coined the term.

Can't claim to have invented it, but pushed it out in a research report I wrote for World Travel Market back in 2005 which got loads of media coverage. I still hang my head every time I see that one pop up somewhere... Sadly, I’m partly responsible for the phrase ‘chaveller’ (the travelling chav, obvioulsy).
