Over on the Al Franken Show’s blog, Eric Hananoki asks the uncivil question:
What should we call the Iraq war if we refuse to call it a “civil war”?
E.g. “that thing over there.”
There’s a link where readers can submit their suggestions.
Some of the responses are in a later post. A few of my favorites:
Mark M = Ongoing celebratory gunfire
Alex C = Cross Cultural Exchange of Gunfire
Jim B = CSI – Everywhere
There are also suggestions in the comments of both posts. One commenter suggested “That thing we do.” Before you venture into the comments, be warned: there’s some strong language there.
