At this time of the year, who isn't doing a retrospective of the past year of their lives? A lot of events (hurricanes, presidential elections, coups, bank failures, etc) have happened this year, and for better or for worse, the world has changed.
The New York Times has a really interesting collection of Buzzwords of 2008 [nytimes.com]. The list includes such words as:
- Fail
- Gas-sipper
- Recessionista
- Naked short selling
2008 has also made me completely sick of hearing certain phrases, such as:
- Drink the Cool-aid
- Credit crunch
- Subprime
- Mortgage backed-securities
