Definition

The peculiar West Texas phenomenon where landlocked residents feel an inexplicable compulsion to buy boats they'll never use, presumably preparing for a flood that will never come. It's optimism meets delusion in marine vehicle form.

Example Usage

My uncle has a massive fishing boat in his driveway, and the nearest lake is 200 miles away—classic Ark Syndrome.
