I'm apathetic about what the word of the year is or what it will be next year, but giving you the list of nominated possibilities selected by the folks at Merriam-Webster, which you can vote on for next year's WotY (wOOt), made it possible for me to achieve one of my quixotic pursuits: to type the words pugnacious and sputum in the same sentence, not that it was ever a great conundrum for this charlatan. Anyway, here are the words; go vote:
apathetic
babymoon
blamestorm
charlatan
conundrum
cruft
eleemosynary
hypocrite
linkability
melancholy
Pecksniffian
pretentious
pugnacious
quixotic
sardoodledom
sputum
subpoena
vanity sizing
w00t
Hmm, a tie between babymoon and eleemosynary (I've always LOVED that) for me.
