    I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of hearing the phrase ‘material breach.’ Kinda reminds you of childbirth, don’t you think?

    And add to that “Wealth Management.” Like ‘limited income,’ it’s one of those terms that’s so overused as to be stripped of its meaning… the poor can manage their (very minimal) wealth too!

    All the good lingo inspired by the Presidency. I would also vote for (1) Regime Change (2) Axis of Evil (though it would make a good comic book name) (3) General Alert
