When a fad or affectation has outlived its coolness,
one can declare a moratorium on it. It's a polite way to express one's
rage at seeing something
silly continue in perpetuity.
1. White chicks with dreadlocks; I'm declaring a moratorium on that.
2. I'm declaring a moratorium on the faux-
hawk. It's been co-opted by too many frat
boys.
3. I believe it's time to declare a moratorium on the fart app for
iPhone.
