a great hall of shame ... good examples of the word abuse the surrounds us. Another one that occurs to me off the top of my head is coalition of the willing...

A great idea for a list. Sometimes it's pre-owned and sometimes it's the more elegant previously owned. A couple more possibilities: rightsize, encore performance when it's actually just a rerun, and regift. Sooner rather than later strikes me as edging toward the smarmy end of the spectrum, but at the end of the day as long as we're moving forward together... that's what I'm talking about.
