  I agree with Larry on the legitimacy of collecting terms referring to
  the present pseudo/quasi-scandal. But if I read Tim's comment
  correctly, it was the incorporation of such terms (and unattested new
  ones) into concocted and even offensive dialogues that he objects to,
  as do I. An honest researching of the terms is fine; it's the cutesy
  use of them on a scholarly list that is objectionable. (And I wouldn't
  like to see that sort of (mis)representation on a Popular Speech list
  either.)
