Phrases you shouldn't hear in 2006, courtesy of the Unicorn Hunters of Lake Superior State University (they have a list of words and phrases they banish every year- http://www.lssu.edu/banished/current.php)

HUNKER DOWN – To brace oneself, in anticipation of media onslaught. Trotted out in reports about everything from politics to hurricanes. “I have a hankering to ban all of this hunkering.” – Kate Rabe Forgach, Fort Collins, Colo.

FEMA – Dedicated to the memory of a great federal agency consigned to the ash heap of parody. “If they don't do anything, we don't need their acronym.” – Josh Hamilton, Tucson, Ariz.

BREAKING NEWS – Once it stopped presses. Now it's a lower-intestinal condition brought about by eating dinner during newscasts. “Now they have to interrupt my supper to tell me that Katie Holmes is pregnant.” — Michael Raczko, Swanton, Ohio.

Before the news media can get to that though, comes the "keeping a wary eye on", followed by "taking aim on", "bracing for", "battening down", and finally, (while "all eyes are on") some serious "hunkering".
