iSnack 2.0

The name that Kraft executives in Australia chose for the new vegemite, out of 48, 000 entries. The name occupies rare territory in its universal derision, managing to alienate both older consumers and tech-savvy youngsters, who find the name powerfully lame in its attempts to keep up with the zeitgeist.

Peggy: Did you hear that the new vegemite is called iSnack 2.0?

Sam: lol. More like iFail 2.0

Faux Po

Variation of 'Faux Pa', meaning to offend another person's academic post-modern, or po-mo sensibilities.

When Charles said that he thought that the 'historical record' would reveal the truth, he had committed a Faux Po, and instantly became the class pariah.
