unexpectedly

The favorite adverb of major news organizations when describing dreary economic news since 2009. It is believed to have originated around May 19, 2009, when Reuters reported "new U.S. housing starts and permits unexpectedly fell to record lows in April . . . denting hopes that stability in the housing market was imminent." Has since been incorporated into the style book of the Associated Press, as well as other journalistic entities.

Anticipated to remain in the forefront of economic reporting until the end of 2016, when it will "unexpectedly" disappear from the landscape.

uneducated

a derogatory word used to describe working-class people, often mistaking pretentious shows of education for intelligence and wisdom, or assuming that ignorance and foolishness are symptoms of poverty
I met someone today who didn't know the difference between a desert fork and a soufflé fork. I say, these uneducated people will be the downfall of America.

Well I never! I overheard a vagrant African American uttering that the rich should be taxed more heavily despite the fact that John D. Rockefeller's "Some Random Reminiscences of Men and Events," which he probably has not even read, clearly states otherwise. How uneducated can a person be?

unending

1) The name of the final episode of Stargate: SG1
2) An ending that leaves elements unresolved, allowing for sequels or just to shit people.
3) The usual way the second part of a trilogy ends, seeing as how most trilogies are not planned as trilogies, but seeing as how well the first did, producers and other money grabbers decide adding two more movies, books, etc. So when the time comes for an ending to the second part (seeing as how most sequels are never as good as the original) they need to give you a reason to come back for the third part.
1) "man that last episode of SG1 rocked!, despite the fact that very little was resolved, aptly named though"
2) "that was such an unending! What about all those zombies? and how did they get there in the first place!?!?!"
3) Examples include: Matrix trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean triolgy, Halo Triolgy, etc etc
