How to Say It in 2012

What were the most memorable new words of 2012?

Posted by Carol Anthony, January 1, 2013 at 10:57 pm

From Eastwooding to Frackademia, 2012 was a year that saw many new additions to our language. Do you have a favorite among them or an original one from your own life experience that you think should be added? I've included two noteworthy lists below.

Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of the…Read More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".

Jennifer, if Bonner speaks about the town trying to buy the property next to east of Scotts beach…Read More (or scots - spelling?) forget about it. that property is meaningless to issues east of that point.

That made me smile! My mom passed away when I was a child and not a day has gone by in the past 37…Read More years that I don't think about her and wonder who this woman was who gave her children the gift of life but never had the opportunity to see her children grow up. The little that I remember of her warms my heart. I wish all mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers and Godmothers a blessed Mother's Day! :)
