A few months ago, someone made a comment on Facebook that is was finally "rafting season". My response was "Rafting season, schmafting season!". In Washington, it's possible to do whitewater boating every month of the year. You don't need 90 degrees and sunny weather to enjoy yourself. I'm just as happy boating the Green in December with snow on the ground and icicles hanging from the walls at Paradise as I am running the White Salmon in July.
Thus we have:
schmaft - verb, to run whitewater only when the weather is nice
schmafter - noun, a person who only runs whitewater when the weather is nice
To call a boater a schmafter is an insult. It's almost as bad as calling an inflatable kayak a "duckie". :-)
