Give It Up for the Winning Hollyword
Mar 24, 2004 - Mark Petix The Riverside Press-Enterprise
Hollywood gives us stars and fashion - and "HollyWords." A look
at some new catch phrases the entertainment world has given us this
year:
The Top Ten Candidates
Wardrobe malfunction (Super Bowl) - From the Janet Jackson/
Justin Timberlake incident.
Bootylicious (Grammys) - A woman who has an abundance of adipose
tissue in the gluteus maximus.
Extreme makeover - From various makeover shows, particularly the
one of that name.
Gigli - New word for "really bad."
Give it up! ("American Idol") - Replaces the square "please
applaud for "
Governator - The honorable governor of "CAH-lee-FOR-nee-ah."
Parley ("Pirates of the Caribbean") - From pirates' code of the
brethren, where one cannot be harmed until one has an audience with
the captain.
Snap ("Freaky Friday") - As in "Oh snap!," meaning "very cool."
Smiths ("The Matrix" sequels) - To lack individuality, like the
multiduplicated Agent Smith.
Understated ("Lost in Translation") - The new synonym for
"loser."
Bonus: Who are you wearing? (Various red-carpet shows) - For most
of us, the answer is "Target" or "Madame Wal-Mart."
AND THE WINNER IS
Wardrobe malfunction.
