A few of these picked non-randomly:

Quote:

GITMO



The official Navy designation of th US Naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba is GTMO. It has been pronounced "gitmo" for at least forty years. It's only the excesses of recent times that have resulted in this pronunciation getting any wide spread recognition. If you don't like it get yourself elected Commander-in-Chief and change it. Otherwise just shut up and think of England.


Quote:

GONE/WENT MISSING



Long time British slang. If it's caught on in the greater Anglophonic world it's because communication has improved due to the influence of the world wide web and many people find it more expressive than just plan "missing". Sorry if getting yourself elected CinC doesn't help on this one. Maybe thinking of England won't either. Tough.


Quote:

NOW PLAYING IN THEATERS -- Heard in movie advertisements. Where can we see that, again?



At home on the direct to DVD edition you rented from Hollywood Buster.


Quote:

TRUTHINESS



Mostly nobody quite understood the real meaning of this term. If you did, you wouldn't be complaining about its existence, you'd be complaining about its misuse.


Quote:

CHIPOTLE



The word chipotle refers to a specific entity. That's the only word available for that particular entity. If you ban the entity you are going to get a lot of discriminating chili eaters unhappy and you don't want that to happen. Just relax and think of Mexico.


Quote:

SEARCH -- Quasi-anachronism. Placed on one-year moratorium.

"Might as well banish it. The word has been replaced by 'google.'" -- Michael Raczko, Swanton, Ohio.



Weren't y'all complaing about "google" as a verb a while back? Make up your proverbial mind.


Quote:

HEALTHY FOOD -- Point of view is everything.

Someone told Joy Wiltzius of Fort Collins, Colorado, that the tuna steak she had for lunch "sounded healthy." Her reply: "If my lunch were healthy, it would still be swimming somewhere. Grilled and nestled in salad greens, it's 'healthful.'"



If there really were any logic to language "healthful" would mean "full of health," not the sort of thing you would say about a dead fish. "Healthy" now also means "promoting good health," a much more fitting thing to say about a tuna steak sandwich if properly made with mercury-free tuna.
