"Fallacy is the new truth."

According to a Lake Superior State University panel, "perfect storm" was the most overused cliché of 2007. Also:

"Webinar" made the list as a tiresome non-word combining web and seminar that a contributor said "belongs in the same school of non-thought that brought us e-anything and i-anything."

Similarly, the list-makers complained about the absurd comparisons commonly phrased "x is the new y," as in "(age) 70 is the new 50" or "chocolate is the new sex."

"Fallacy is the new truth," commented one contributor.

Ain't that the truth?
