New words for 2009

Susan Bray, the former Philadelphia talk show host now running a B&B in Australia, sent along a list of new words for the new year. Dunno where they came from but most of them are quite good, though a few don't translate perfectly from the Aussie. My favorites:

BLAMESTORMING
Sitting round in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

SEAGULL MANAGER
A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.

... and ...

SINBAD
Acronym applied to single working girls: Single Income, No Boyfriend And Desperate
