Teanami (tea party + tsunami election)

“Teanami” (tea party + tsunami election) is a name used in September-October 2010 for a predicted tea party victory in the November 2010 midterm elections. “Teanami” has been cited in print since at least September 17, 2010 and was used by conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh on his October 20, 2010 show.
 
“Tsunami election” is another name for the older term, ”(tidal) wave election.”
