Bad vibes

"Resonate" is the vogue word of the month, in print and in everyone's mouth, used in all sorts of ways, mostly at several removes from the figurative sense of "striking a chord," also a musical figure. "It hasn't resonated yet" must mean something like "it hasn't sunk in" or "it hasn't registered" or "it doesn't seem quite real" yet. "Resonate" is much used also in political and marketing circles.
