Americanisms - bombshell - 29-08-2011 09:16
This is something that irks me somewhat,
Listening to President Obama this morning
he spoke of some Americans experiencing
"Power Outages"
Outages, surely a made up word.

sadly, americans; not all of you im sure; have a habit of making shit up, or saying silly things...... mostly the presidents or those working alongside them..... need i remind you all of the infamous 'known unknowns' debarcle.....?? lol.
we had our own word made up recently over these riots.... i dont ever remember 'criminality' being used before; but suddenly every damn reporter or government person was using it.....!!!
