Still smarting from the whole Charlie Sheen prehab coinage kerfuffle, I decided to get proactive while poking a little fun of myself.
I realize that it doesn't matter if I coined the term prehab in regard to Charlie Sheen's latest "preventative" trip to rehab. Nor does it matter that Sheen's first wife, Donna Peele, has collected my initial post along with several others about her ex's exploits, on zimbio.com.
This little drama has played out solely between my ears. I missed out on a mention on Gawker and The New York Times. Who cares? Prehab was coined years ago on The Onion, anyway. So that term wasn't mine to claim.

Back to the proactivity part. I'm happy to say that Urban Dictionary has accepted my new entry into the lexicon:
Me-tox:
When you need to go to detox to get over yourself.
Example: " X is so full of herself, she needs to go to me-tox."
It not only applies to me in this situation but also originates with me. Feel free to use it any time you like. But if you're a news outlet, for God's sake, please give proper attribution!
