About as stupid as the topic "What religion meant to Prince".
Honestly, I was killing time waiting for the 10pm news to start (on another channel), so I went to CNN to see if there was any update on cause of death. I saw the countdown clock and had to take a picture. I wasn't following whatever story they were covering.
there are not multiple super tuesdays. this is a thing they made up to make it sound more important than it is. the real super tuesday is that one in late feb or early march where like 15 states all vote at once.
Sounds like Black Friday, that stupid shopping day after Thanksgiving. Then they added Small Business Saturday, and (stupidest of all) Cyber Monday. As if everyone isn't shopping online every day of the year already. And who the hell says "cyber"? That term died with the advent of America Online.

As much as I think you're being facetious, both use terms for their organizations- cyber, negro, and colored - no longer used in common language.
I'm not being facetious. I don't think "cyber" is used any more or less than it has been for the last 20 years. Probably used more now than it was 50 years ago.

Eta: Google's ngram stuff is available, so I asked that.

It only goes up to 2008, so maybe there's been a drop in the last 8 years, but that seems unlikely given the trend.
