Words we are going to get sick of soon--'unprecedented'

We are already sick of terms from the race ('bigly' or 'big league', your choice; 'yuuge'. 'trust me', 'double down') What is the next set of over-used phrases? I've already seen 'unprecedented' far too often.....what else?
Oh, and is it 'Resident Trump' or 'President Rump' come January???

In response to the by then tens of thousands of hate incidents acted out upon others by the self anointed alt-right troopers.

Already hitting home in my progressive college town.

Remember when Norman Osborn took over SHIELD for Marvel's Dark Reign arc?



I suspect it is going to be more like the latter because Trump's minions are a bigger threat than the Chief Blowhard.
