I was tooling around Twitter this morning when I came across a blog by Aaron Brazell called Technosailor. This particular post covered his annual installment of "Words That Must Die in 2009." It was mostly tech-centric and hilarious.
After reviewing my comment, I noticed it was skewed toward politics. So I thought I'd offer this...
Words to Rest in 2009
"Hope," "Hope and Change," "progressive," "non-partisan," "gamechanger," "mandate," "happy holidays," "Obama-" (ie. Obamanomics. This is already really, really old), "centrist," "Office of the President-Elect," "bubble," "tax cuts for 95% of Americans," "middle class," "the rich," "macro," "billion," "crater," "governance," "global warming," "green"
"We 'hope' the 'hope-and-change' 'progressives' move toward 'non-partisanship.' This would be a 'gamechanger' and expose a 'mandate' to cure 'Obamamania' and encourage 'centrist' 'governance.'
"Unfortunatley, 'The Office of the President Elect' will instead immediately propose 'tax cuts for 95% of Americans' and 'green' jobs initiatives to solve 'global warming,' which will obstensively boost the 'middle class' and only lightly burden 'the rich.'
"This trickle-up 'macro' approach intends to cure the housing 'bubble,' stabilize our economy, and generate 'billions' of new revenue for the incoming administration, but it will actually 'crater' our economy further.
"Happy Holidays."
What are some words you have had enough of in 2008?
