news karaoke artist

(n.) - Someone who posts on blogs and social networks just to spin other people's more substantial and professional news reports and ideas.

"You know, the blogosphere is now full of so many people who set themselves up as a news karaoke artist, when in fact all they are doing is spinning someone else's commentary. Singing someone else's song. I hate what the Internet is becoming!"

generation gasp

(n.) -- the sighing sound one hears on both sides of the generation gap when one side says something the other side just doesn't quite agree with

"You know, every time I talk to my dad, he says a few things that just bother the heck out of me, and I know it's just the generation gap rearing its proverbial head again. It happens so often now, but of course always in a friendly way between younger daughter and older father, that it's more like a generation gasp these days, than a generation gap!"
