Gitmo - Its been called Gitmo for quite some time. Its easier to say than Guantanamo. I don't see anything negative about using Gitmo. DRUG DEAL GONE BAD -- I don't see any problem with this phrase. A drug deal that went smoothly is very different than an attempted deal that resulted in violence. "Armed robbery gone bad" does strike me as a bit odd, but wouldn't be on any list of words I wanted banned (If I was someone who would want words banned or would make such a list). Really I don't have too much of a problem with any of the words or phrases. The combined celebrity names might be slightly annoying. "We're pregnant" seems a bit odd. I don't like "truthiness", or pwn/pwned, but none of them upsets me. I tend to get more upset (to the extent I get upset about word choice) with loaded terms, or with use of terms to mean something very different (perhaps the opposite) of their definition. I've posted before about the use of "literally" to mean something very different than its definition. I've also posted about "homophobe". But even then its not like I actually get angry about it.
