As for roadmap why not "plan of action", "peace plan" "peacemap".

I can see it now - turn left at Iraq, drive through Yassa Arrafat, and give Areal Sieron (Spell?) a lift to Palastine.
Our language has become increasingly colloquial and its expletives, superlatives etc are increasingly over-used.

Anyway, I tend to think 'sexed up' and 'road map' arise because words and phrases we might once have used when we get excited about stuff are a bit worn out through over-use.
