An amazing list with ginormous importance

You read a list like this and you have to wonder why the creators stopped at 10. There are plenty of over-used, useless words out there, most of them being uttered by politicians (today Newt Gingrich talked about the "real problems of real people"), TV political analysts, corporate America and sportscasters.

My favorite word from the list, with its nominating comment:

SHARED SACRIFICE

"Usually used by a politician who wants other people to share in the sacrifice so he/she doesn’t have to." Scott Urbanowski, Kentwood, Michigan

Of course.
