Would love to have $1 for every time I have heard "unprecedented" lately. What's your word?

1. They are using it in place of...

“We’ve hit a new low.”

[Greybnk48]

2. "Meddling" instead of "espionage"

I also HATE "folks," a Dubya Bush idiom that he even used for terrorists.

3. his base

they can't shut up about 27% of the electorate...the loons that voted for him...any other president says he is president of ALL the people. His fucking base....100s of times a day.

4. Salacious. They are using the word salacious a whole lot on CNN

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

5. "Back in the day" (4 words, I know)

[LisaM]

6. Chaos.

And the related word "chaotic".

It never escapes me that Boris and Natasha were part of KAOS or however they spelled it.

7. "Lashes out"

Term, not a word. But when I think of the Trump presidency, that phrase comes to mind quickly.

A president is not supposed to lash out, not in regularity. But one news site I use as a home page has some headline writer who uses that term seemingly multiple times per week: "Trump lashes out at..."

I wake up late and when I turn on the laptop I'm always wondering who Trump lashed out at this time.

8. "Breaking news" - pick your network

9. Double down and pivot

Both have been used incessantly since the primaries.
