2007 Dictionary word of the year

From Merriam-Webster the word of the year:

w00t

Yes, seriously;

From their own site (http://www.merriam-webster.com/info/07words.htm)

Oh, and I thought they were referring to one of my favorite sites to buy things www.woot.com . :lol:

One of my friends emailed this announcement to me saying that it reminded him of me... just great :p

Can't say I have ever used that word while speaking....ever...and will never.

I think its more of an on-line word. I never use it.

i use it all the time. ANd i love that site!

Pffftttttt :rofl: !

my kids won't talk like that

^That's awesome!

Wow. This is the third time today I've come across this topic. I bet Webster is rolling in his grave as we decimate his book of words.

w00t for death!!! :bananasmi

that's retarded. i was listening to the radio (last year? a few months ago? something like that) and they mentioned that they added words like ginormous and something else retarded. it's so stupid that they're adding those, i don't consider them proper english, i consider them slang at best. it's too bad they're accepting poor english instead of trying to correct it.
