Banned words 2005
As 2005 winds down, which are the words and phrases from the year are you most looking forward to having behind us? While you may really be tired of “Scalito,” “the blame game,” or “Plamegate,” you’ll have to vote for those over on Wonkette as we will endeavor to make our own list from the wine (and maybe food) world. To get the ball rolling:
* Sideways
* Mondovino
* hedonistic fruit bomb
* watering back
* spinning cone
* Constellation
* Pinot Noir
* hang time
* direct shipping
* China is the future
* San Sebastian
* El Bulli
* EVOO
Send me an email with your banned word suggestions or post a comment here and I will post the final short list for voting after Thanksgiving.
