Words or Phrases I Never Heard In Live, But Now I have


Recommended Posts

I was thinking, so much has happened in the last few years; and a couple of phrases come to mind that now have meaning, but didn't, when i played Live.

 

Such as:

 

Drone Strike; no, it doesnt mean the drones have stopped working

 

Minor Nuclear Emergency; heard during a newcast about the Fukishima Disaster

 

 

Maybe you know some others?

IED ... back in the day it was just called booby traps .

 

Jessica Rabbit had a booby trap.  Not all booby traps are explosive in nature. (hers was a bear trap, in a particular location)

The idea was, when i made the post, that anyone who wants to might contribute their own twisted perspective on the passing of a decade or more.

Please feel free to contribute any now-ubiquitous words or phrases that you wouldnt have heard with the same ear, in Live.

Smartphone.  Back then cell phones just did phone calls & maybe texts, now many of them are handheld computers.

PDA's!
And i dont mean public displays of affection!

Duh.... the most obvious of them all!

 

BBW

 

When I first saw it in a personals add, I was trying to figure out what her RD faction had to be!  Then I met her, and I realized I clearly came unprepared.  No one told me I had to have a harpoon to play that game!
