I was just thinking about how certain terms nowadays have been made especially popular by celebrities and/or celebrity trash magazines. One in particular that I hate is the new term for the stars who happen to be pregnant. Baby bump.

Also on the same annoying lines is how coupled celebrities names are grouped together. TomKat, etc... ::)
