The discussion has been had and I've compiled a long list of nominated words. Sorry if your favourite's not there, but I had to exercise some editorial judgement -- and the long-list is already three words longer than last year's. (It contains only two words nominated last year -- Novopay and Drone(s).)
As per previous years, you're invited below to use the forms to rank your three top words from the list, in order. Go for it -- and tell your friends. One lucky voter will win a luxury hamper from Nosh.
After the final wash-up, the first reader to propose the winning word in the discussion phase will win a luxury Nosh hamper and a $100 voucher from Whisky Galore. Plus a level of fame and bragging rights on which no sensible value can be placed.
Here's the list:
