actually, i think "bad" was the new "sick." ummm... or something like that. I just remember "sick" being used by my brother and his friends when he was in high school ... 20 years ago. So would that put it chronologically ahead or behind "bad"? Both were after "cool", that much is certain. "Wicked" was in there somewhere, too ... but I think that was earlier.

I learn more here by accident than elsewhere by design.
Phat was in there somewhere but I haven't heard that for quite awhile. My mentality must be more like the goofy guy on the Hemi commercial - "Sweeeet!"

Heyjewel goes to great lenghts to make sure we gey the pronunciation of the new Lincoln names right by spelling Emm Kay Ess and Emm Kay Ex, and I appreciate that.
Those names though are supossed to be pronounced Mark-S and Mark-X. That is what Lincoln stand guy was refering the cars as in the Industry Days preview. ANT14 could probably confirm this.

That's correct but when George gets on a roll I just stay out of the way.

So is that F150 (with a bit more chrome) going to now be the "MKLT"? Mick Lit?? And what is the thinking behind making every kind of Lincoln vehicle a "Mark"? Just curious. It is almost like a new brand. "Continental" became a separate "division" for a brief time back in the 50's. Didn't work out though, as we all know...

Well, the LT can't count cause it spells 'Mark'. As for the X and C, are we sure it's not pronounced the Mark 10 and Mark 100? X and C are Roman numerals after all and that's how they used to refer to the Marks. As I recall, I drove a Mark 8, not a Mark vie. The MK S? Hmmm ... just what could the 'S' stand for? Mark Sport? Mark Sedan? OK. Any other possibilities? Mark X where X is from CrossOver or X-Over? OK sure. So if there's a MK C, then that's the Mark Continental? Next year will the Zephyr be the MK Z? What about the People Mover they're working on - hey that'll be the MK PM. Gee, this is easy. Better have a MK AM too for morning people. Or maybe just go with MK VWB - for Mark VW Bus.
MK MW (Mark My Words), this is STOOPID and the folks at Cadillac are laughing their MK As off.
Even many of the folks who loved the LS were a bit ticked it didn't have a real name.
OK, Allen, you can get back up now :>)

"Mark C" Opps, I MUST have been thinking of something else, it ANGers be sometimes I tell ya.
I personally dislike the whole MARKeting issue. But I've been saying it in the past, Fords' marketing/advertising has always been lackluster. It needs a major overhaul.
