The List

By Hank Stuever
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, January 1, 2003; Page C01

Two thousand two has "traded spaces" with 2003: Open your eyes, everyone, and look at what Hildi did to your room! (Is it safe now to declare zero-tolerance on any new redecorating shows?)

Some quick New Year's notes on Doing It Yourself: It's easier to just pretend you're on the Atkins diet. Make it up as you go along. After "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," it's time for my big, fat Greek kids. Improvise, adapt, put your thang down, flip it and reverse it! Can't write a screenplay based on what happened? Invent it, sweetie, write yourself in as a character. Enough reality, enough war, enough Elimidating. Fake is in, only we call it faux, unless it's an earning statement, in which case please report the core earnings, Mr. (and Ms.) CEO.

Other leading indicators: Goodwill all those pairs of dirrrty jeans with tha' whiskas, ladies. Nix the Tin-Tin haircuts once and for all, guys, (especially you gay fellers) and think shaggy and sloppy, a la Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor Oberst. (A veritable zit-geist!) All other matters we refer to the BBC's bitch-goddesses of the moment: Susannah and Trinny of "What Not to Wear." Pyongyang plutonium has us contemplating doomsday (still hot), but until then, keep this one thing in mind: Karl Rove – perennially in.

i'm sorry but lariat necklaces are NOT in, they are this lame trend left over from 2 years ago. bahh what do i know.

hildi is out and vern is in?? hmm. you know i don't really like vern. like his personality is okay (i think i like hildi's personality better too though -- i used to think she was such a snob but lately she's been so silly and goofy) yeah. vern has a tendency to clutter his rooms

i really liked the bathroom hildi did where she stapled the fake flowers to the walls. my mom is a practicalist and said 'eww what's gonna happen when it gets all mildewed???' but i just thought it was beautiful 3-d wallpaper.

uhh. pinot grigio is out?? hmph. you know what. i am an optimist right now at 8 15 in the morning. i suddenly. i dunno. i think 2003 may be a pure year. you know what i mean? 'cause after so much corruption and like nasty tv shohws etc etc etc and michael jackson news stories, there's only so much you can bear before the world reacts. and i think. well not the world that is sily. but i think our pop culture is starting to react against the glut if you know what i mean. i don't know. 2003 may be the year of ethics as that little list sort of indicated but eh. maybe i shouldn't hold my breath

POLITICS AND THE MEDIA

MATERIAL BREACH -- “Suggests an obstetrical complication that pulls a physician off the golf course,” says a nominator from Washington, D.C. Sounds like contract lawyer-speak rather than the world-worn parlance of war planners and diplomats. At one time, UN resolutions were violated. Violators were held in contempt. How long until treaties are ripped up in the presence of attorneys?
MUST-SEE TV -- “Must find remote. Must change channel,” laments Nan Heflin from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Television once pitched entertainment. Apparently now it’s taken on a greater imperative. Assumes herd mentality over program taste.

UNTIMELY DEATH -- Balky attempt to make some deaths more tragic than others. “Has anyone yet died a timely death?” asks Donald Burgess of South Pasadena, California.

BLACK ICE -- From the weather and news reports. Ice is ice. Watch your step.

“Ice is usually clear and shiny when you see the black pavement through it.” Robert Irving, Tahoe City, California.
ON THE GROUND -- Media hip-speak and frivolous dramatization. David Cheng of Rockville, Maryland, points out that humans live on the ground, “not suspended 100 feet in the air or 100 fathoms beneath the ocean.”

“Especially annoying during the presidential election recount, but still shows up in major news stories,” Robert Prince, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“Where else would you be?” Ken Finkel, Dundas, Ontario.
“Only in a few situations is it necessary,” Andrew Makepeace, Vancouver, British Columbia.
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION -- Used more and more (and just too much according to James of Canberra, Australia) as a card that trumps all forms of aggression. In danger of becoming a push-button buzzword. Many nominators point out that any weapon, used effectively, does a lot of destruction. “A few thousand machetes in the hands of an army in Africa can lead to mass genocide,” writes Howard Stacy of Atlanta, Georgia.

Jack Newman of Cypress, Texas, often hears the hybrid, “wepuhmadistricshun.”
“Over-used, over-wrought.” Michelle Gill, Chicago, Illinois.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT – Nominated by many, including Angela Wood of Anchorage, Alaska, for over-use since the 2000 election.

“Generally used instead of ‘don’t underestimate’ or ‘understand,’” says John O’Connell of San Jose, California. Are listeners really going to mistake what the questioner is saying?
“Who’s mistaken, anyway?” asks Barb Keller of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
HOMELAND SECURITY – A new and improved buzzword. With billions of dollars at stake, perhaps “national security” is just plain blasé.

“What happened to the Department of Defense?” asks Rick Miller of Champaign, Illinois.

BUSINESS/INDUSTRY/MARKETING/TECHNOLOGY

EXTREME -- This over-used word in advertising and marketing drew the ire of citizens throughout North America, from coast to coast.
Al Slang of Duncan, British Columbia, said “It’s used 24/7 (we banished that in 2000, Al) on everything from store sales to deodorant ads.”
“Extreme sports, extreme cars, extreme soft drinks…I’m tired of hearing it.” Doug Hagen, Newton, North Carolina.
Razors aren’t extreme. Neither are deodorants or cheeseburgers.” Cliff of Pensacola, Florida.
“I saw a church billboard advertising ‘Extreme Adventures’ at their vacation bible school. What the heck does that mean?” Cheril Lin D. Abeel, Detroit, Michigan.
NOW, MORE THAN EVER -- Many, including Valli Irvine of Austin, Texas, thought this should have been *******d on the 2002 list. Matthew Lowe of Kew Gardens, New Jersey, summed it up for the many who nominated this tiresome phrase: “It has become over-used since the terrorist attacks…from warnings to be safe, to stores having sales…It has to go!”

Lowe’s neighbor, Mike Bowers of Lebanon, New Jersey, agrees: “What’s next? ‘Now, more than ever, Americans need 50% more raisins in their cereal?’”
“This precious way of saying, ‘Now that we’ve had a terrorist attack on U.S. soil, we have a duty to recognize the important things in life’ seems to be the recent darling of advertisers and politicians…What simpering balderdash!” Josh Mandel, Colonie, New York.
BRANDING -- “This word, once properly associated with marking livestock to prove ownership, has been co-opted by the MBA crowd and now seems to refer to any activity that supports a company’s desire to clearly define its products and/or services. Can’t we just say ‘Promotions and PR?’ Nancy Hicks, Fairfax, Virginia.

MISCELLANEOUS

HAVING SAID THAT and THAT SAID -- Nominated by many for over-use, especially in the news media, according to Kay J. Jauch, Edmonton, Alberta, and William Hamlin of Wappingers Falls, New York.
“I heard you the first time,” said David Patrick of Lafayette, Indiana.
“Annoying useless filler,” said Sadie Campbell of Scarborough, Ontario.
“It seems like the intellectual form of ‘ya know.’” Shelley Gaskin, Scottsdale, Arizona.
PEEL-AND-EAT SHRIMP -- “Do they think that, if the name did not contain instructions, we would peel-and-throw-on-floor?” Miguel McCormick, Orlando, Florida.

CHALLENGE -- “No one has problems anymore, they only face ‘challenges.’ Sonia Jaffe Robbins, New York, New York.

“I think it’s a weasel word. ‘Challenges’ only have to be met. Problems require solutions!” Ray Lucas, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
IT’S A GOOD THING -- “This phrase is ‘ramped up’ (banished in 2002) for over-use,” says Mark Dobias of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. “The question is: good for whom? For example, insider trading may be a good thing, but only if one does not get caught. Then it is a bad thing.”

AS PER -- “As per a conversation I had with a co-worker and ‘as per’ common decency to your fellow human beings, please substitute ‘according to.’ If I hear ‘as per’ ever again, I will need to take some ‘asperin.’” Greg Gibson, Tucson, Arizona.

REVERSE DISCRIMINATION -- “Discrimination is discrimination, regardless of who is being discriminated against.” Kristen of St. Paul, Minnesota.

SPORTS

THERE IS NO SCORE -- “It is inaccurate and misleading. There IS a score. It is 0-0.” Paul Jertson, Christmas Valley, Oregon.
GOT GAME -- “I hear this phrase used by sportscasters trying to be hip: ‘He’s got game tonight!’ They mean he’s playing well.” Scott Tolentino, Garden City, Utah.

MENTAL MISTAKE -- “Used often in the sporting world,” says Paul DeCarlo of Helena, Alabama. “What mistake is not mental?”

TAUTOLOGY AND OTHER CIRCUMAMBAGES

____ IN COLOR - “As opposed to green in size,” quips Janet Litherland of Thomasville, Georgia. Lends an empty air of precision.
FROZEN TUNDRA – “Tundra means a frozen land,” points out Michael Pittman of Cincinnati, Ohio. Usually used by sportscasters to describe the home field of the Green Bay Packers.

UNDISCLOSED, SECRET LOCATION – Redundant stacking of adjectives often used to describe Vice President Cheney’s whereabouts. “If it’s a secret, it’s pretty undisclosed, and if it’s undisclosed, it’s a secret,” says Bill Lodholz of Davis, California.

Samsa · 01-01-2003, 10:44 AM

after pondering on lariat necklaces i had an urge to read the ross simon catalogue i got (well not i but you know) in the mail a couple days ago. i was sorta saving it so i could look at it with my mother which is why i hadn't looked at it yet i guess (plus that much jewelry at one time is overwhelming you know) so ugh. i just now went to go find it and sure enough my dad has thrown it away

he always throws away my jewelry catalogues. i'm gonna have to settle with "country curtains" he has no concept of ANYTHING. he said "it's online just look at it online!" he is so fucking silly. i guess he's one of those people who doesn't erally care about the journey just the end result or what have you, you know. i on the other hand just. no way. looking at jewelry online is so different from looking at it in a catalogue. sometimes i enjoy looking at it online more (when i'm feeling methodical i guess) but they are NOT the same urge. ugh. he never fails to throw my magazines away.

. when i have my own house . .. .

but i won't get the cool magazines

that's the problem.i'll have to buy stuff from them first. i think it's worth it just for the magazines

anyways

http://216.205.77.115//images/027544c.jpg anyways, this lariat necklace is not so bad. i dunno. it's sorta cheesy

http://216.205.77.115//images/029138c.jpg that on the other hand just bothers me. eh. maybe it's not so bad.

dammit now i'm confused.

Rima · 01-01-2003, 04:20 PM

Are those what Lariat necklaces are? I don't much like them if so. I sort of like the second pic one, if you'fd remove the stoppage thing in the middle, basically, just hve what was in the right side item, then it's not too bad, but the others, and that one fuly, yuck.

Have you seen Garrard's new lines? Ugh, so amazing.. and expensive. I actually have become interested in jewelry just by seeing Garrard's items.. so nice. Their, "Crown," some of their
"Tablet," the silver, or platinum I suppose, "Orrery," and their "Graffiti" lines kill me!
