Meaning of "Normal is the Watchword"
There was some confusion as to what "Watchword" meant and how it related to "Normal"... so here goes.
Kinda like key word or a goal... implying that everything goes back to "normalcy" for Veronica this year... sort of like her theme for the year. Wallace says it to make fun of her... as in "I forgot... everything for you is about being normal this year." Just like last year was all about her being the outcast.
Watchword is defined as...
1. A prearranged reply to a challenge, as from a guard or sentry; a password.
2. A rallying cry: Let our watchword be freedom.
And watchword is used as...
1. watchword - a slogan used to rally support for a cause; "a cry to arms"; "our watchword will be `democracy'" A rallying cry, war cry, battle cry, cry. A catchword, motto, shibboleth, slogan - a favorite saying of a sect or political group
2. watchword - a secret word or phrase known only to a restricted group; "he forgot the password" A countersign, password, parole, word. An arcanum, secret - information known only to a special group; "the secret of Cajun cooking" A positive identification - evidence proving that you are who you say you are; evidence establishing that you are among the group of people already known to the system; recognition by the system leads to acceptance; "a system for positive identification can prevent the use of a single identity by several people"
