Hiatus, Segway, Hatch.... Ok, hatch is obvious, we all hate that probably since it is just the hatch at one entrance they never even use anymore. But Hiatus... good lord, there are so many other words that could be used there, break, sabbatical, period where the production crew are falling behind through negligence.... why is it always 'hiatus'? It's like one guy thought it was a word that sounded intelligent and everyone followed it. It's a microcosm of America and its flock mentality toward fashion and celebrity and cosmetic enhancement and inexplicable brand loyalty.
Segway... Jay and Jack haven't used this word very often, if ever. So sorry for bringing it up here, but it seems like every other Lost podcast uses it instead of the word link as if it is the new intelligent word. Must there always be some kind of vogue word that you are uncool if you don't use? yo.
Yeah and just sayting yo at the end of a sentance. It makes me want to expectorate.
Come on, we can think of alternatives to Hiatus etc. Why re-use the same stupid word over and over as if it makes us super-clever? It doesn't. It makes us look like retardo's.

But yeah. Hiatus. They should put that word in the Disney Vault.

So what you are saying is: "Don't use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice"? I don't think the words hiatus, segway, and hatch were used enough before the podcasters breathed new life into them. Don't be a hater yo! All the podcasters put a lot of work into their shows, it seems silly to criticize the use of words, but if you must criticize them, at least suggest viable alternatives, thus making it productive. www.thesaurus.com might be inspiring. It's not fair to thrust something else on the people that are giving so much of their time already.

I don't like the use of 'Hatch' as a synonym for 'Bunker'. But the other two words are used correctly, so I have no beef.

Personally I'm sick of hearing "Others." I know theres really no other word to describe them, but it's always, "Oh I think he's an other" or "The others took my baybay" and stuff. Other other other. The word has lost all meaning.

I'm just going to call them "The Yeti Clan." "I think he might be a Yeti." "He was killed by the Yeti Clan." "Holy Baby-Stealing Yeti Clan, Batman!"
