				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>CHIAA</strong> (Chiə): A new Twitter Trend started by Katie Holmes following her recent split from Tom Cruise. CHIAA is an acroynm for “Can’t Have It All, Anyway,” and was inspired by writer Anne-Marie Slaughter’s popular article titled,“<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/07/why-women-still-can-8217-t-have-it-all/9020/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">Why Women Still Can’t Have it All</span></a>.</span></span>” The trend has taken the nation by storm and appears to be used by women as a way to express personal frustration over failures to complete normative, gender-based tasks. <em>Examples found on Twitter: 1.) “Who brings store-bought cookies to my work’s charity bake sale&#8230;then secretly eats most of them? This gal. #CHIAA”  2.) “Forgot 2 pick up kid from @daycare b/c I was watching reality TV re&#8230; AGAIN #CHIAA”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>‘Mericanismo</strong> (mɛrɪkənɪzmoʊ):  An extreme form of nationalism and pride in America that typically reaches a peak around July 4th each year, resulting in a person’s need to assert how American they are. <em>“How was your day?” “Great! I ate apple pie, played baseball, and got an eagle tattoo while I read the Bible. You know, the usual.” “Oh, cut your ‘Mericanismo crap. You drive a fucking Toyota, dude.</em>”<br />
Antonyms: <strong>‘Meri<em>cant</em>ismo, Communist, Liberal</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Politiffing</strong> (pɒlɪtɪfɪŋ):  A form of extreme political debate which ends only when a candidate makes his or her opponent go deaf from yelling as loudly as possible over the other about his or her own views and opinions.<em> If politiffing made it into this years Olympics, Newt Gingrich would be a serious contender for the gold medal.</em></p>
