Happy debate night! Grab your favorite beverage and drink when a candidate says:
Gin up (for obvious reasons)
Sword of Damocles or fiscal cliff or sequestration (because what else are you going to do?)
To be clear (here) or Let’s be clear (here)
A (whole) host
Look (only at the beginning of the sentence)
Obamacare (if you’re a Democrat, for self-evident reasons. If you’re Red-leaning, because it’s the government infringing on your liberties)
Average American or Average Voter or Ordinary American or Average Joe (because you are in that chair, Blanche, you are!)
Middle class
Job creators or small business (because you are one or you’re beholden, Caulfield)
Disingenuous (because “You Lie” was already taken)
Self-deportation (because what are the chances that’ll get used again)
Economy (because it’s …say it with me…the economy, stupid)
Our brave men and women in uniform or our troops (because if anyone deserves a toast, it’s them)
Call for entries: I left some good ones off the list. Once you’ve sobered up, add your suggestion to the comments and I’ll add it to the list before the next debate (Veeps on 10/11).
