. . 9/11 Timeline: How The Attacks Changed Our Cultural History (INFOGRAPHIC) First Posted: 9/11/11 10:28 AM ET Updated: 9/11/11 12:21 PM ET Gazelle Emamigazelle, Mallika Raomallika Huffington Posthttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/11/ september-11-timeline_n_957133.html?ir=New%20York

Phrases like "too soon" and "never forget" evolved from campaign sloganesque refrains into tossed-off colloquialisms, or punch lines aimed at the kind of sentimentality that defined the last months of 2001. Pain turned into irony and distance. But a scan of the past 10 years on Urban Dictionary -- a site that's cornered the ironic distance market -- revealed its own kind of sentimentality. The second anniversary of 9/11 inspired a moving "9/11" entry (we've placed the words on the timeline according to their date of creation). The word "bomb" got a thorough Urban Dictionary analysis on the exact date our alert system ratcheted briefly up to red with the news of a stomped-out bomb plot in London. And the last entry is "Osamnia," written by someone on the night Osama died to describe why sleep that night was impossible.
.These words most directly relate to our final "history" section. Similar to the alert backdrop, this section is not meant to superimpose meaning on the cultural events, but simply functions as a guide to our nation's psyche during significant moments, from the unfathomably disturbing "shock and awe" campaign to the wave of euphoria following Barack Obama's victory. While our memories of the events of the past 10 years may have dulled with time, these are unmoving markers that, unlike culture, cannot be revised.
