Episode 208

Last week on Survivor, the glorious "blindside" occurred yet again.  This is just another example of television reclaiming words that no one uses.  Have you ever heard the word blindside used to describe anything other than a super crafty immunity idol-inspired move on Survivor?  I doubt it.  Also re-coined on Survivor are such piratical terms as "mutiny".  Other than in Catch Phrase, that word is never, ever used in normal people life.  

By the way, this is funny, particularly the title.
