  My word/hashtag of the year is: #twitteraunties - it's become a bit of A Thing, a Meme, a cry to action.

  I have already nominated meta, but Madiba is a word I learned of this year (how long have others here known of it?) which has some importance.

  Wegege

  Did you mean Wewege? Or is there a meme for mutilating his name that way that I've missed?

  S'later (as in 'see you later'). Or 'horacle'. Or 'geesees'beebill'.

  My favourite this year has been Ubermenshe. Probably not the most populist word for 2013 but still a good one. Followed by Coniption.
