Something is the new something

A list of cliches (via Google) where something is being transposed to be the new thing:

  • Clarendon is the new Helvetica
  • The location field is the new command line
  • Fake is the new real
  • Orange is the new black
  • Quiet is the new loud
  • Nearshore is the new offshore
  • Red is the new blonde
  • Blacker is the new black
  • Iraq is the new Vietnam
  • Movie piracy is the new plague
  • Fat is the new thin
  • Wide is the new black
  • Fat is the new tobacco
  • Organic is the new kosher
  • MFA is the new MBA
  • Small is the new big
  • Spim is the new spam
  • Being uncool is the new cool
  • Gay marriage is the new abortion
  • 30 is the new teenage
  • Butt crack is the new cleavage

Of course, everything is the new black. Why is black the standard? Have any other favorites?
