Bij Oxford Word of the Year was ik niet voor de winnaar (locavore), maar wel voor:

mumblecore

an independent film movement featuring low-budget production, non-professional actors, and largely improvised dialogue

Bij Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year 2007 ben ik het eens met de winnaar:

w00t (interjection)

expressing joy (it could be after a triumph, or for no reason at all); similar in use to the word “yay”

Maar er zitten bij de Macquarie Dictionary Word of the Year 2007–lijst al meteen een reeks woorden die ik grappiger vind dan al de voorgaande:

man flu

noun Colloquial (humorous) a minor cold contracted by a man who proceeds to exaggerate the symptoms enormously.

tart fuel

noun Colloquial wine coolers and alcopops, viewed by men as deceptively alcoholic drinks that will lower a woman’s resistance to sexual advances.

arse antlers

plural noun Colloquial a tattoo just above the buttocks, having a central section and curving extensions on each side.

fauxtography

noun the manipulation of photographic or video images to convey a false representation of events. [faux + (pho)tography]
