Sookie Sookie Now!

I've been thinking about the television media in general, and what a piece of crap they are collectively. I hate the jargon that they use, and it seems to me that they get together to decide what terminology is "in." Think about it. When we first went to war with Iraq, we used the shock and awe campaign of bombing targets non-stop for hours and hours. Following the incident, it was like the media simply forgot how to use any other words. "The campaign was shocking and awesome, Jim." "It was awesome, and yet shocking, Bob." I got so sick of the words "shocking" and "awesome" that I vowed never to use them in general conversation again.
And recently, during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the term "hunker down" was all the rage. "Those who have not left should hunker down in their homes." "People here are hunkering down instead of leaving." And so on...
I want to email Fox news a list of synonyms for "hunker down": shelter in place, take refuge from the storm, stay home, take cover, don't leave...
Maybe that would help them, hmm?
But doesn't the term "hunker down" seem like such a fun piece of lingo. You could totally use it in place of "sookie sookie." Can't you just picture reporters being like, "Aww Hunka Down now!"
That would be good stuff...
