lolz! "w00t" is the Merriam-Webster Word of the Year




Visitors to the Merriam-Webster website have voted w00t the Word of the Year. (That's w00t with two zeros, mind you.) Merriam-Webster gives the following definition:

w00t (interjection)
expressing joy (it could be after a triumph, or for no reason at all); similar in use to the word "yay"

Runners up include facebook (maybe you've heard of
it), blamestorm (A meeting held in order to come up with a name of a person to assign guilt to a certain incident), and Pecksniffian (unctuously hypocritical).
