Would you eat fish that had large open sores, strange black streaks, lesions, parasitic infections, chewed-up-looking fins and gashes all over it?

The past few days have been headline-news dense, and admittedly, it’s been hard to keep up with it all. The Royal Wedding was a massive international event on Friday, then the Presidents Correspondents Dinner, then suddenly Osama Bin Laden was dead, and finally, the Canadian federal election.

Well, one thing’s for certain: The most used words of the ’09–’10 TV season really make us miss last year, when everybody was talking about Twitter and Michael Jackson and vampires. Compared to this one, that year was relatively awesome.
As if to strengthen the argument that this year has been sort of a downer, the Global Language Monitor has delightfully informed us that the top three words of the previous TV season were “BP spillcam,” “dysfunctional” and “guido.” More
