One you hear all the time now is "24/7" as in "keepin' it real 24/7" (thats 24 hours a day/7 days a week, for the unitiated). I'm picturing an SUV commercial on TV in my head right now. There's also "411," as in, "I've got the 411" (information; directory assistance, geddit?). Although, that one always seemed a bit forced to me. Any other good ones?
