Claudia Rosett has fun recommending replacements for some current terms being bandied about in Foreign Policy discussions:
War on TerrorShe doesn't really recommend replacements, so I'll suggest my own:
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Nation Building
United Nations
U.N. Resolutions
President or Prime Minister
Suicide bomber
Roadmap
New World Order
War on Terror = Defense of Humankind
Weapons of Mass Destruction = The Adults Table
Nation Building = Pouring Money Down a Rathole
United Nations = The Mad Tea Party
U. N. Resolutions = Red Tape
President or Prime Minister (in non-democratic regimes = Warlord
Suicide Bomber = Walking Land Mines
Roadmap (formerly "the Peace Process") = Blind Alley
New World Order = the Pax Americana or the Second Dark Ages (depending on the outcome of American politics in the 21st Century)
