Media Buzz Words

[jamoor]

Is it me or do the Media always have a fking "Buzz Word" to shove down your throat, they seem to be printed in every paper, twice when the word is in fashion.

E.G

War on Terror
Weapons of Mass destruction
Credit Crunch


Anyone think of any more?

'Robust'. This seems to be used increasingly and I think it's one that the Government have been pushing. It sounds tough and reassuring but like the word 'pledge' doesn't promise anything absolutely.

There was also a craze for 'fit for purpose' last year, usually with 'not' tagged on the front...

I've noticed the increase in the word robust, usually when talking about fragile things like the economy

Every statement by NuLabia has, by law, to include the word 'Clearly'

'reveller' - exclusively used by newspapers when describing 'the young people having fun'.
Don't know why, but it really annoys me.
