CNN guy: "...now more on this continental kerfluffle."

Did CNN just say "kerfluffle"?

Alliteratively?

Today is a weird day.

I've never heard it anywhere except on the internet, and I've always heard it primarily on LJ, only somewhat on messageboards or forums. I associate it completely with LJ in my mind, like "friending" someone or "wank" in the sense of fandom_wank. To me, kerfluffle was something you typed or said to other LJ people you were talking to in real life, not something non-LJ people said in real life. And definitely NOT something that people on tv say.

Weird. Just... weird. My internet language is being co-opted by RL. Or RL is being co-opted by internet lingo.
