RE: Assassination or "work-place violence?"
Reminds me of "collateral damage" which was "Un-word of the Year" 1999, referring to the civilian casualties in the Kosovo war.
If serious, "work-place violence" would be a prosperous candidate for the 2016 "Un-word of the Year"! Is there a similar annual "award" in the US? The title "Un-word of the Year" is awarded each year by the German Language Association to the year's most offensive new or recently popularized (seriously meant) term. The year before it was "sozialverträgliches Frühableben", lit. "socially acceptable early passing", implying that people who die early into their retirement were considered advantageous for the welfare system. For more examples go here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Un-word_of_the_year |
