A Polyanna is a person who is blindly optimistic putting everything in a positive light. You know the type. In fact, you can probably ascribe the word to several of your Facebook friends. It comes from Eleanor Porter's popular children's book from 1920, which had sequels and movie adaptations. Although the word is used negatively now, the title character, Pollyanna was the heroine of the story.
