Winter's answer to sunburn. During the winter, low temperatures and high winds can cause skin to dry out excessively, losing the top layer of oil that normally protects it. The skin swells up slightly, turns red, and stings like sunburn.
Windburn can be treated fairly easily by applying vaseline or chap stick (to ease the burning sensation), using aloe moisturizers, and treating the skin with care for a few days. It can be prevented by covering and protecting exposed skin (especially ears, lips, and nose), switching to mild soaps and cleansers (preferably moisturizing soaps), and avoiding long stretches of exposure when the wind chill is particularly strong.

Get the DARE mug.Term based on the myth that Vegas hotels pump extra oxygen into their casinos to keep people awake, boost alcohol's effects, etc. etc. This is false, and would be highly illegal if true. Not to mention what would happen if someone lit a cigarette.
The "rush" that many people feel when entering a casino is really a combination of overstimulation (flashing lights, noise, excitement) and sudden exposure to lower temperatures; though they aren't allowed to pump oxygen in, some casinos keep temperatures lower than normal to help keep people awake and alert, spending more money rather than returning to their rooms.
Although it's based on false information, the term is not obsolete; it can also refer to the casino's atmosphere of excitement and risk.
