modern medicine
While it has saved many people, the process of some medical treatments seems to be "damage the host until the disease can no longer survive, then hope you can revive the host". At the very least it attempts to replace, rather than augment the natural healing process. The other side is a bunch of hippy pill-poppers, that see conspiracies everywhere.
Medicine is RIPE for a revolution. Vive La... vive la... sick people

verbs
"Dude, did you BlueCoconut that Metallica yet?"
In this modern era there are a new class of nouns. Products that DO something. Google being the most famous. It is perfectly valid to use a NOUN as a VERB when both parties share an understanding of what the product does. For historical perspective see Skateboard and/or blender

children's programming
usually falls into 2 categories.
people with an agenda and a desire to serve the deep future . Often misguided but occasionally inspired. This is the category that creates great and sometimes creepy programming.
Examples: sesame street, Blue's clues, Lazy town
people who think kids are like stupid adults and want to serve inattentive parents by WoWing children into submissiveness and fostering (festering) the 'consumer hunger' in children far earlier than they should be exposed to it. Often sacharine sweet, seemingly inoffensive and 'bubbly and colorful'
Examples: most of Disney and Nickelodeon's television programming.

coffee
A major diuretic (meaning it cause your body to expel water), coffee should not be made "too strong", the same effect can be attained with twice the cups of regular strength coffee and you don't have to sip it through your teeth to keep the grounds out.
Coffee is usually too hot to drink.
