In the 90s, and now into the new millennium, TFM lyrics has seen several legit terms, words, phrases and the like gaining currency. Can we discuss this?

  In the 80s, we saw lyricists popularising usage like "aathari", "rathiri" and "parijatham". What has been happening in the 90s?
  
  The first instances that spring to my mind are:
  
  Vathikkuchchi/theekkuchhi: This term has been used in more than one song, and looks likely to be used in many more to come.
  
  Thinnu: Valli started the reprehensible trend of using this word in Indian (mennuda ennai thinnuda), and other lyricists have followed suit [ThinnaadhE (paarthen rasithen), ...ennai nee thinnada (citizen)]. I am sure TFM has to put up with many more calls to 'eat me'.
  
  Swaasam: This word seems to have become a favourite among lyricists across the board. Swaasame, ...en swaasakkaatru varum paathai, etc. I am not particularly fond of this usage, but it's certainly more tolerable than the previous ones.
  
  Chudachuda mazhaiyil: This is another first in TFM. I don't think anyone had thought about it before.
  
  
  For the future, my bets are on one word that we are going to see being used a lot: "Vaseegara" and its derivatives.
  
  Over to you, friends.

  internet, computer, virus are few rehashed drops.
  
  brahma is another keyword (i think brahma has taken over the throne from hitherto famous maaran/manmathan).

  There's no point talking about the English infiltration into TFM lyrics, the malaise is getting deep-rooted.
