________ is the new ________?

Asked by filmfann (52454points) May 16th, 2011

I have heard people say 50 is the new 30. I don’t agree, though I am definitely younger than people who were my age 40 years ago. What turns on this phrase have you heard, and do you agree with them?

To start, I have heard “Wrinkled is the new Ironed”.
I am completely comfortable in a wrinkled shirt, but there is no way it is socially acceptable.

Natural Gas is the new Nuclear Energy

Just heard that Japan, Germany and the US will hold back on building nuclear plants as planned after what happened in Japan. Here in the US some are assuming natural gas could take that spot as big source of power. Can anyone say “fracking?!”

Gaddafi is the new Saddam.

Anyone notice that Gaddafi sounds like God Awful and Saddam, well, Sodom?
