Terms of our time.
There are terms that sometimes pop up that really, really work better than just one word. There was one that came up in the last two days and damn it, I forgot to write it down. But, just in the hopes someone else caught it (I think it was in reference to the impeachment trial) I'll start a thread on the ones I remember:
1) Abundance of Caution: “out of an abundance of caution,” is often used when explaining an action that isn't necessary, but is going to be done anyway because you want to be extra careful.
2) Irrational Exuberance. "Irrational exuberance" is the phrase used by the then-Federal Reserve Board chairman, Alan Greenspan, in a speech given at the American Enterprise Institute during the dot-com bubble of the 1990s. The phrase was interpreted as a warning that the stock market might be overvalued.
On edit: I think the term came from a judge on a recent court case.
