Using the word 'since' to link unrelated events and thus imply causality eg 'there have been thirty earthquakes in Peru since Bush was elected' implies the reason for the earthquakes is Bush being in power. This tactic is commonly used by broadcasters, like the BBC, to get past allegations of bias.
The BBC is sincing Obama by suggesting there have been 23,000 murders since he annouced he was running for President.

Since 'Nam
A phrase used to describe an event/ occurrence in one's life that hasn't happened in a long time. Typically used when referring to family outings or sporting events.
Joe: "Hey John, want to go golfing today?"
John: "Sure, but I haven't hit the course Since 'Nam!"
Joe: "We have to celebrate Grandma Jane's birthday today."
John: "Dude we haven't celebrated Grandma Jane's birthday since 'Nam!"
A phrase popularised by Australian YouTuber frezned. To be said ominously after saying something that has or has not happened. It has an even more powerful effect if you ask/bribe some friends/passers-by to shake their heads and tut immediately after you have spoken.
