Two new words I heard this weekend:
Overheard: Peak Atmosphere
Definition – the predicted or estimated pointed where atmospheric-carbon pollution reaches critical mass. If you are familiar with Peak Oil and Peak Credit, then this new term takes on the same principle of denoting a point where atmospheric pollution reaches a) a point of no return and b) a tipping point (using Gladwell's famous term) for environmental and societal knock-on effects.
Overheard: glunge
Definition – Glamourous Grunge. Those of you familiar with the grunge music of the 1990s will know that it came and went after only a few years. Now, in 2009 and 2010, the music is apparently being revived with more attractive packaging and being called glunge. This is what glam rock was to bread-and-butter rock of the days of old and is now coming to a music scene near you. This one, however, may not last.
