I found this word while watching season one of The West Wing. My husband saw the entire series on sale on Amazon and bought it since we'd never watched it when it was on TV.
I love it, but it is kind of jarring watching a show that takes place before 9/11.
Different issues are highlighted, and they say funny things like "We got this information from the Encyclopedia Brittanica" or "Who is beeping me now?"
The annoying thing about watching a show that is no longer culturally relative is I can't go on facebook and reference something that happened in the show and expect anyone to know what I'm talking about.
If I said something like "Elisabeth Moss is the president's daughter!!!" I would just obfuscate my friends who are not reliving 1999.

Anyone else fall in love with a word this week?
