Subject: Re: PS on new words



When I chose "the contract with America" for my personal WOTY, I considered

a number of others as well. I offer the other choices for the ADS

nomination pool:



OSFA (acronym for One Size Fits All, which of course it doesn't)

morph (virtual reality for the Power Rangers generation)

the bell curve (where most of the people are below average)

Pentium (the flawed chip that calculated IQs for the bell curve)

and of course, the contract with America (guaranteed to raise the gross

national IQ)
