Just read an article about everyone's favorite, Charlie
Sheen, whom CBS just fired from the sitcom, today.
Sheening has become a verb on social networks.
It means: Partying, questionable decision making and
public humiliation.
The title of the article was "Done any Sheening today?"

Whenever I think of Charlie Sheen, I think of how sad President Bartlett must be.

That coinage didn't take long. I wonder how long it will last?

Remember when "getting Norvilled" was in usage?

these sorts of words come and go with the times:
norvilled - thrown over for a younger, blonder version
chung - to aggressively attempt to get pregnant
quayle - to listen with a look of intense concentration, without a clue as to what the speaker is saying.

Cartoon came by the other day:

Mother carries laundry basket.
She encounters son (about 8 years old: boy is naked
and has a cigarette hanging from his mouth, and wearing
only sunglasses)
Mom to boy: "No you may not go as Charlie Sheen for
Hallowe'en this year".
