  • OT: Interesting article about the word "vetting"

    They're using it so much lately and it's a word I don't remember hearing much growing up.

    Pretty cool how language changes over time. One expression I hear all the time now is that something or someone "went missing." It used to be that the person disappeared. From what I can see, the origins of "went missing" also point to British usage.

      John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.
