The curse word 'Battlestar Galactica' created:
"Best-selling novelist Robert Crais slips the word into the prologue of his latest Elvis Cole mystery, 'Chasing Darkness.' He did it because 'Galactica' is his favorite show, like calling out in the wilderness to his fellow fans. But he sees the word popping up everywhere, even among those who have never watched the show.
'It's viral, it spreads like a virus,' Crais said. 'That first wave of people who use it are all fans. They use it because they're tickled by it and like me they're paying an homage to the show. When they're using it, they're probably doing it with a sly wink. But as it gets heard and people use it, it spreads.'"
