Favorite Phrase of 2004
My favorite piece of journalistic insta-jargon from 2004 is easily "the so-called 'nuclear option,'" a phrase deployed in every single story about the Republican plot to change Senate rules to disallow fillibusters. With a little creativity, however, it can be made to apply to virtually every area of one's life.Similar in sound, although much more horrifying than amusing, is the "Salvadoran option," which is my least favorite piece of journalistic insta-jargon from 2004.
Does anyone have anything to add?
