Natalie,



www--I don't think is ever said out loud, or even thought.



(go) postal--did we find that it was, indeed, used by anyone other

than the original poster (or was it the poster's friend?)? I've been

asking around, and trying it, and no one has recognized it



spamming--agreed, at least two years in common use



corporate welfare--yes, definitely



hello?--I think that may have started earlier, on TV sitcoms last year,

with the "we're all friends and have keys to each others' apartments" shows,

but it is out in common use now



I don't know or recognize the others. What happened to serio-discordant?



happy new year!
