Harold and Maude is a Hal Ashby movie from the 70s. A commercial failure at the time of its release, it has since then attained cult status. The film revolves around the exploits of a morbid young man – Harold – who drifts away from the life that his detached mother prescribes for him, as he develops a relationship with the septuagenarian Maude.
The movie’s protagonists have given rise to two new words: "Maudism" or "Maudianism" which is the philosophy of living each day to the fullest and "Harolding", which was described by Douglas Coupland in "Harolding in West Vancouver".
So what does Harolding refer to?
