Angina
Probably the worst thing about "Angina" is having a heart problem, but I am pretty sure what the second worst part is.

Going Anakin
I'd like to introduce an new phrase into the American lexicon:
Going Anakin
When a show with a beloved and well-respected mythologies over-explains it in a cute, and unnecessarily detailed way (Like when a powerful and mystical force becomes simply the actions of midichlorians, and the darkest villainof all time(s) becomes pie-faced kid with a whiny voice).
Example: "Last weeks episode of LOST totally went Anakin with the light cave."
or
The last episode of Battlestar Galactica was awesome until it went Anakin in the last fifteen minutes.
Sometimes the mystery box needs to stay a mystery.
