One of these words is not like the others:
Top to bottom, those were Merriam-Webster’s words of the year from 2003 to 2007.As society progresses, so does its language. This is quite apparent from Merriam-Webster's word of the year: w00t. Evolved from the modern gaming community's phrase "we owned the other team," w00t is used to express joy or pleasure, particularly after a victory or completion of a difficult task. Sadly, Merriam-Webster Online didn't have an entry for their word of the year which left me feeling a bit angry. So, I instead linked the picture (over there ==>) to its Wictionary page. *sigh* Yes its on Urban Dictionary. So for all you die-hard nerds out there who think that the Earth may finally be on the verge of a cultural breakthrough, congratulations. For everyone else, I can't wait to see next year's.
Oh, almost forgot... last year's runner up was google.
