(n.) 1. the feeling you get when you finally reach the top of a mountain or hill (and are breathing really hard and your heart is pounding and your limbs are shaking from the exertion) and get rewarded with a spectacular view or a sense of accomplishment or the knowledge that the hard part is over and it's all down hill from there. 2. By extension, that same feeling applied to everyday things such as exams, projects, and so forth. (From Japanese shima "island.")
Примеры использования:
When I finally got up to the top of Traverse Ridge and could see the whole of both valleys---well, between burning, cavernous breaths---it was pure shimaness. | When they told him he had passed the Bar, he felt the most amazing sense of shimaness.
