There is a nice word in English called "Zeitgeist" ;-). Unfortunately the "spirit of the age" gets into everything. The best thing to do is just ignore the colourful language....

"Zeitgeist" borrowed word from the German language. It's not even English.

That's the great thing about English. Its vocabulary is bascally a superset of a all other languages. :)
