    When I lived in Australia, we had floods. The news kept using the term “inundated” so much we turned it into a drinking game.

    “This place is inundated”, “That place has inundation”, “Were expecting here to be inundated”. And you’re thinking, “With what? Zombies? Donations? Locusts? Oooooh, rain water. Yeah, that’s called flooding, not inundating.”

    It was so weird, but all the news outlets did it.
