These are dark days indeed.
The Associated Press, when describing an incident involving the current Miss Universe, a fashion show and a skirt she was wearing falling to her ankles, used the term Wardrobe Malfunction... which means that this turn of phrase is becoming more and more legitimate as a statement... sigh. Who would have thought that Justin Timberlake was going to contribute something to the English Language that was actually going to stick.
I know the language is always evolving, but come on... I don't think this little tidbit needs to be saved for perpetuity. I mean, if this isn't a linguistic malfunction, I don't know what is.
