Many other terms related to the federal stimulus — or the failing economy that inspired it — have been thrown into the semantic scrap heap for 2010, including "stimulus" (the more blunt "bailout" bit the dust last year), "toxic assets" and "too big to fail" — apparently, failure was an option.
The "hip" crowd in the White House is wearing out even their semantic welcome, apparently.
"Let me be clear" also should have made the list. Maybe next year.
