We're on the Same Page....

So I was reading this month's Cosmopolitan magazine, and it had a feature about what's in/out for summer. In the 'out' list - distinctly - the 'buzzwords' recessionista and staycation! Yes! Cosmo and I are on the same page! In the 'in' column - resetting (?). It's apparently the new term of optimism for starting from scratch, as in, a do-over. I am not sure how I feel about this word, but I like the meaning behind it.

Now, while we're at it - the term 'buzzword'....

Earlier, I spoke about some mandatory time-off from work I'll be taking in the next month, and how I plan to enjoy some in-town activities over this time period.

I have just been informed this is called a 'staycation'.

I am not sure your feelings on the term 'staycation', but for me personally, it's right there with 'recessionista', and 'thank you ma'am'. To further clarify, I feel similarly about this term as I do toward Keith Olbermann, Kara DioGuardi and the Old Navy mannequins.

Anyhow. I may be venturing out of town simply to avoid hearing this term.

Recessionista.

I will be happy when this economic downturn is over, if for no reason other than this term disappearing. It's not that there's anything wrong with it, other than the overkill.
