Am I the last nerdling alive to hear about this?!More relevant than Britannica, hipper than the Letterman Top 10 List, more laser-focused than Wikipedia, its Baraktannica!
This widget from Slate includes such modern etymological classics* as:
Barakupied (Unable to think about any politician other than Barak)
High-Baraktane
Barakracy
Barkaismo
Barakolyte
Barakiavellian
Operation Baraki Freedom
Barak-Paper-Scissors
"Barak" the Neogolism Germ of Our Time!
*Yes, I know that is a clusterf*ck of a term, but it's mine and I'm embracing it!
