Saw this article in the Vietnam News so I looked up the website: Merriam-Webster Online
Merriam-Webster's Words of the Year 2004
Based on your online lookups, the #1 Word of the Year for 2004 was
Blog - noun [short for Weblog] (1999) : a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer.
Click on each of the other words in the Top Ten List for their definitions in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
2. incumbent
3. electoral
4. insurgent
5. hurricane
6. cicada
7. peloton : noun (1951) : the main body of riders in a bicycle race
8. partisan
9. sovereignty
10. defenestration"
I believe one of the main goals in life is to never get stuck in "The Waiting Place". If you succeed, you'll win 1000 mega points!
