An anorak is a special type of jacket.
A test edit!
Originally invented by the Inuit, who needed clothing which protected them from the wet, while hunting and kayaking in the arctic region.
Underneath the anorak the Inuit wear warm clothes.
Inuit anoraks have to be regularly soaked with train oil (=fish oil) to keep their water resistancy.
In British slang, anorak has come to mean "geek" or "nerd", on the principle that only a geek would wear something so unfashionable.
