BADWILL (AND GOODWILL)
A NEW YORK POST columnist wrote about "Hillary's Bad Will Tour." The
response is in Sunday's letters (www.nypost.com).
"Goodwill" is one of OED's oldest words. OED does not have "badwill."

BASH-WAGON
A story in the Sunday NEW YORK POST sports section mentions the football
NY Giants "bash-wagon." This is not a particularly clever play on "bandwagon"
(something to jump on during good times), but there are some hits.
BASHWAGON--46 Google hits
BASHWAGON--107 Google Groups hits
BASH WAGON--70 Google hits
BASH WAGON--90 Google Groups hits
