WORD OF THE YEAR


Actually, it should be PHRASE of the year. I learn to my amusement that Webster's New World College Dictionary runs an annual "word of the year" competition.
And the shortlist for the 2008 accolade has just been announced:


Overshare

Leisure sickness

Cyberchondriac

Selective ignorance

Youthanasia
