praxis and marginalized I'll give you. I haven't come across diasporic though so I'm not sure on that one... I'd also like to nominate No Child Left Behind as I spent a whole semester talking about it in one class.

I wish people would just say "NCLB" instead of "Nickle-B". I can't stand "Nickle-B."

Nickle-B sounds like someone is talking about Nickelback. Since NCLB and Nickelback are the two suckiest things yet to come out of the 21st century, I see the connection.

I have never heard it called Nickle-B. Interesting... I can sort of see where it comes from but agree that it sounds like nickleback.

It might just be a CA thing...although at conferences, I've heard the term used by people from other states. 
ETA: I am watching the news right now, and I cannot STAND the phrase "GUNNED DOWN." Horrible!

I'm still pretty new to this education thing so I'm sure it's just the fact that I haven't come across it yet  I also hate when they talk about teaching to standards. It just makes me so sad.
