1. A CNN commentator has just been discussing "future-forward ideas" and
"future-forward technology." It means futuristic and/or innovative and/or
forward-looking or -thinking.
2. A CNN anchor remarks without a hint of a pause or stumble that "many of
my friends are not that good a looking guys." (Instead of "not such
good-looking guys.")
