I've been shocked in past days to find the word "fraught" appearing with frightening regularity in ordinary web discourse, among my small circle of friends. So much so, that I tend to wonder if we may have sparked a meme that will spread beyond quiz bowl (I'll call such a quest "fraught" right here, and avoid the rush). So while following Matt's entry about the flow of referrers, I was shocked to find "fraught" pop up here. Probably not a likely correlation. But I will be interested to see if this (go Big Red) can show me if there is a usage spike.
