Doesn't it seem weird, but 9/11 isn't part of the last decade.

Buggerizing has gotten a fair bit of traction around here.

yeah I'll go for blog as WOTD

"unrebuttable" is a late starter, but seems to have form.

For the year:
"Gay red top" (just for comedic value at the end of the day)For the decade:
I'm going to nominate the letters "i" (as in Phone/Pad/Mac) and "W" as in Bush.
Sesame Street Styles. -

Is 100% a word? No it's a lawnmower.

Carping and moaning

Quite so. But you could certainly argue that its influence on the past decade has been prodigious.

Kebabette, in reply to
Amen to that one.

Planet Key
Two words I know but it has been one of those years
or maybe the word of the year should be left blank as 2012 has seen a lot of forgetting going on.

Precisely.
Or, to put it another way, 9/11 was a huge part of the last decade.

Gangnam Style. No question, sexy Lady.

'Shelfing' As in to shelf alcohol or party pills. To insert in the rectum and get wasted really really fast.
Although Hashtag is a pretty good one, and I only wish that Proletard had gained more traction.

Words of the decade: torrent, copyright and insurgent

Marcus Turner, in reply to
Perhaps something that couldn't be shelved wouldbe unrebuttable.

Word of the year nominee: HOPIUM
Word of the decade nominee: TRUTHINESSThe former wouldn't be quite as addictive without without liberal sprinklings of the latter. Like two peas in separate pods.

Aye. That song is a case study in how music has changed in the last decade, and how people can be successful in the new world. The graph contrasting how it got to be the most popular youtube video over Bieber's song, which took about four times as long...
Seeing the Silver Fast Ferns and the English netball team dancing to it before the final a few weeks ago was incredibly cool.

So, so really hit the mainstream this year.
Of the last decade, maybe WMDs.
Of the last century, maybe fuck or okay.

Buggerising with an s! The retro word of the year?
-
Prime candidate for redundancy (never sighted on PA, but an infuriating crutch for other comments-threadsters:
"Just saying".
GRR.
Not a substitute for effective argument (ad hominem or not), and anyway John Cage was first ("I'm saying nothing, and I'm saying it.") -
Fresh green image !
For the decade/year ?
ironic,that it just keeps coming back,
& its neither, fresh, or green ! -
Google seems to have been around since the late 90s- but did it become a verb before 2002? It’s been a big part of the last decade. Also seems remarkable that youtube didn’t even exist until 2005. Like fish schwimmen in the ocean, they both seem too big for us to even notice, now.
etaBuggerising with an s! The retro word of the year?
Yes! Another person who finds themself stubbornly re-correcting/disabling/cursing devices/software with presumptive US spellings.
