Laaaaaaaaaaaaame....

I'm not happy with today's newspapers. There are several candidates in there but I'm getting the feeling I've seen them before. Or at least have nominated their 'brothers' for the same reasons. The utter lack in creativity of the journalists is very disappointing today.
Let's see what they are, ok ?

- 'kiesburgemeester' (choose mayor). This is wrong for two reasons.. first, the fact that in a year (or more, because currently the government is bickering about the time needed to prepare for this) we can choose our mayors really doesn't change too much about what a mayor is. Secondly, because it should be a 'chosen mayor', not 'choose mayor' - geez ! Wouldn't 'gekozen burgemeester' fit in the headline ? It would from where I'm standing. At least well enough to prevent this crap word.
- A lot of throwers today: 'stenengooiers' (rock throwers), 'sneeuwballengooiers' (snowballs throwers), 'ijsbalgooiers'. All of them at cars, by the way. And yes, I translated the second one literally - I've already nominated 'sneeuwbalgooiers' before, but now this new variation pops up. It's like some kind of mutating virus.
- 'tsunamiwaarschuwingsdienst' (tsunami warning agency). Do I really need to explain why I nominated this word as the Word of the Day ?
- 'waddengasboringen' part of the North sea is in between the tiny islands at the top of my country, and my country itself. That part is called 'de Waddenzee' (although it's hardly a sea in its own right). There's a lot of natural gas to be found there under the 'sea' bottom, but it's also a protected natural environment so drilling there was out of the question for a long time. Of course, with the current shortage in fossilized fuels worldwide, they sooner or later just *had* to, so now they're going to go at it. But from what I gather from the article, besides all the special precautions to make sure they don't harm the environment too much, this seems a pretty ordinary drilling. So what makes it so special that it needs its own word ?
- but the winner is 'belhel' (telephone hell). It has to do with the tax office having an information phone line which had to be 'open' for longer hours, which forced the easy decision to put cheap, uninformed people behind the buttons outside office hours. And a big red guy with horns and a pichfork. And fire. Because it's a phone hell. No, really. A phone hell, I'm telling you !
