Moment of Wit. Not Mine.

I am in the midst of dealing with a ton of things that are making me angry and that I can't really talk about SO, someone else to amuse you...

In honour of a tradition that dates all the way back to the beginning of this sentence, let's begin the new year by reflecting on some of the words that, based on events of 2006, ought to be added to the dictionary:

caruso n. a medical condition that compels the victim to remove his sunglasses for dramatic effect in the middle of seemingly every sentence.

federline n. 1.an abrupt reversal of fortune: I was up $240 at blackjack but since the new dealer arrived it's been a real federline. 2. a vaguely comic musical noise unpleasant to the ears 3. the actual sound of one's 15 minutes of fame collapsing.

ingatieff v. 1. to embark on a doomed quest: His feet bare, armed only with a butter knife, he ignatieffed into the jungle at dusk. 2. to smile in a manner that suggests the very act of smiling is causing you tremendous discomfort.

rumsfeld v. to fire someone way too late for it to do any good: Our CFO had already fled to Tahiti with our pension fund when the chief executive rumsfelded him.
