Let's say it together: NUCLEAR!!!
I'm not even going to get into policy. I'm not going to get into the fact that if you leave it as an option for people to keep their social security the way it is (ie, with no personal accounts) and most people take that option, you haven't actually changed anything. I'm just going to say one thing: NEEEEEWWWWW CLLLLEEEEEE ARRRRRRRRRR. Let's all say it together. NUCLEAR. NUCLEAR. NUCLEAR.
If we can't say that, and I especially mean the "leader" of the country, I think we should all just get to make up whatever we want. I am going to use fabulosity whenever possible. My boss will be able to use frushpressed in high level meetings. The rest of you may use whatever words you'd like. If we can't pronounce words the way they are spelled, it should officially be open season on the English language.

I thought about you every time I heard him say it! I had a feeling you would be hitting the cealing.
Personally, I'd like to add "stroosed" (meaning stressed out) to the mix and Whaaaa? should become an acceptable and recognized word.

I almost used "feministy" in my post yesterday, but talked myself out of it. I couldn't figure out if "healthily" was a real word though.
Some blog has a word of the day where you are supposed to try to fit the word into conversation as much as possible that day. You could do the same, and use stroosed and frushpressed and nu-cu-lar. Hehehe

I really liked Fabulosity. I may try and fit it into conversation. I've become one of those annoying people at work always teaching the kids something when they're in my training room. Think it would really screw them up if I started using non-words? ;)

Rumor has it that Laura Bush announced that she CAN pronounce NUCLEAR correctly.
Serious.
