RANDOM - Used by college-age young people the last couple of years to mean something other than "random"--probably "strange," as in, "That was random."

Any of numerous misspelled words posted on Free Republic that somehow become famous and used ad nauseam by just about everyone.

FEMA – Dedicated to the memory of a great federal agency consigned to the ash heap of parody. “If they don't do anything, we don't need their acronym.” – Josh Hamilton, Tucson, Ariz.

Funny how Josh doesn't toss EPA, HUD, OSHA, and all other kinds of worthless federal alphabet soup agencies into that dustbin.

NUCLEAR OPTION - Political term thrown about by the talking heads (a previously banished term, btw), which, if you didn't catch the meaning the one time it was ever explained, you won't understand. See "Gang of 14."

GIT-ER-DONE – (Any of its variations) It's overdone. “There's no escaping it. It's everywhere, from TV to T-shirts,” says Amanda Tikkanen of LaGrange, Ind. “Please tell me when we're done with this one.”

I must confess, I have never heard this one. I do wonder about the over representation of submissions from NW Ohio. I mean, two from Swanton? You have got to be kidding me. #; )

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION - Used by corrupt Democrats to refer to Republicans. It didn't stick. See "Blowback."

BLOWBACK - May or may not be the new "Backlash," I'm not sure. Check in the Dictionary of Underexplained Political Terms.

BRING IN A - "This football team brings in a Jeremetrious Jackson, they bring in a DeShawndra Davis, they bring in a Shawntrelle Williams, and they still don't win football games." Note: The speaker does not mean one of several DeShawndra Davises. He means DeShawndra Davis. Even so, he must insert a superfluous "a." Also note the mandatory modifier, "football," even when the entire context of discussion is only football.

This footballspeak needs to go in a new direction.

AT THIS TIME - "At this time we stand and sing. . . . At this time we welcome. . . ." Unnecessary filler.

From recent times:

South Park doesn't care about Catholics, or Muslims, or Protestants, or Scientologists, or Jews, or Mormons, or beavers.

Brokeback MountainYes its name is ripe for parody, but it does get a little old seeing every poster about the movie try to out do any previous poster with a new name. Or mentioning pudding. We get it, and the movie is dying a well deserved death at the box office. I think we can let it go.

PROUD SPONSOR - "Biggles Corporation is a proud sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure!" "MegaCorp, proud sponsor of Some Tax-Write-Off Charity!" Of *course*, everyone is a "proud" sponsor! Otherwise, why would they be sponsoring the thingie? Would they be *ashamed* of being a sponsor? I doubt it.
