Hehe whoops, just changed that one, not sure what I did there. Another one I've probably got wrong is Obamanation, which I thought was good at the time, like a contraction of "Obama for the Nation" now I'm thinking it's a pun on Abomination. Not sure though!
A euphamism coined by and popular with the far right US commentariat.
"Let's skip the puerilities on HN if possible."
So you're saying we should stop being so childish and get back to the serious discussion about the neutral term "Obamanation"?
Don't get me wrong, I get what you're saying and half didn't want to publish with that word exactly but I searched and the alternative was some long clinical description. While it's important to avoid epithets it's also important to be concise and using one word to do the job of over 10 should also be striven for.
the word you're looking for is "neologism", not "euphemism" - a euphemism is the replacement of a word or phrase with a synonym considered less offensive, while retaining the meaning. (e.g. "poo" rather than "shit"). see wikipedia for a good discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemism
Another one I noticed is "Obama's Network", which is in DC not too far from the White House (but definitely not at it). It's classified as pro-Obama, and if it were anywhere else it probably would be, but given the location I'd say it's just a joke designed to surprise passersby.
