Top Political Buzzwords
QT from the Chicago Sun Times mentioned the Global Language Monitor Web site which tracks media buzzwords. For the first 7 months of 2007 (in the U.S.), the top 10 were: Surge, Obama, youTube, Cleavage, Pardon, Live Earth, Subpoena, Congress, All-time Low, and “I don’t recall”.

Cleavage? Live Earth? What does "live earth" even mean? What have I missed in my media reading?

Does the UK have a site like this? I'd love to see some comparisons.

I assume that "Live Earth" is the opposite of what you get when real estate "developers" and politicians move in. You can't grow much on asphalt. As for "cleavage," maybe Eldrige Cleavage, or Grover Cleavage?

"You tube" is an insult meaning that your daddy was a sperm bank sample. Roll Eyes

I believe they were referring to [Dolly] Pardon's Cleavage (groan).

Didn't they pardon Eldridge Cleavage?

I couldn't believe all the hullaballoo about Hillary's cleavage. One wonders what the talk will be if she becomes president!
