8. "#Winning"
When Charlie Sheen went fully batshit in the spring and began his media tour of insane rants, we were right there, tickets in hand, for his wild ride. Then he blessed the world with his own Twitter account from which to swiftly and furiously unleash the cray in 140 characters or less, and we lapped that up too. There's no denying the many priceless quotables Charlie Sheen bestowed on us during that time that we appropriated for our own vocabulary. "Gnarly gnarlington" and the revival of "warlock" are some of my personal favorites. But I think we can all admit we overdid it a bit during our Charlie Sheen bender, and it was fun while it lasted. Having said that, if you're still saying, texting, or tweeting "winning," that's actually one thing that is not in fact happening for you because you're losing. It's over. Let it go. But it's not in our nature to leave you high and dry: the good news is, you can start replacing every other word with "swag" since that's apparently socially acceptable now. #Swagness. How swaggity swag swag is that? [Photo via] -Emily
