Word of the Year

From Merriam-Webster Online: “We’re trying something a little different this year. Instead of reviewing millions of searches in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary to find our most frequently looked-up words, we’re asking you to submit your choice for the one single word that sums up 2006.” My submission was “debacle.” Not really sure why. It was just the first thing that came into my head.

    First word that comes to mind is, “mudlum”. Which, it turns out, is not actually a word. So, then the first “real” word that comes to mind is, “word”.

    No. “Ironic” was my “word”.

    The first time I heard the word deplorable was when my mom found a “Mad Libs” that my brother and I had filled in from front to back.
