Sometimes a word takes D.C., and for that matter the country, by storm. It fits so well, points out a specific, annoying thing, and is fun to say. Sometimes, however, people use words without knowing what they mean.

Overheard of the Week

Near Eastern Market:

Two girls (maybe 8 and 12) are walking with their family.

Younger Sister: “I kind of know what it is, but I’m not totally sure what it means because it’s never actually been explained to me.”
Older Sister: “OK.” (To the entire family) “So who wants to know what a douchebag is?”
Younger Sister: “YES!!”

After the jump, Hill staffers, questionable paternity, and Colt 45.
