My next vote for WOTY would have to be proportion - as in "all out of proportion".
Pick a news story this year, any news story, and then try and justify it as all being perfectly reasonably portrayed:
*World Cup Rugby - stench of death on the battlefield
*That cup thing in Spain - does anyone with a nett worth of less than a billion bucks give a rats ass (except those of you with a long history of yacht racing in the family - you know who you are)
*Terrorism - yeah, that was some reasonable and rational discussion
*The end of Democracy and Free Speech - see terrorism -
I we need two categories - One for the word that really hits the zeitgeist of the year 2007; and one for the word wore out its welcome in the past year.
For category one I second the nomination for Urewera, in category B, I think terrorist has been done to death.

We've certainly lynched people for less egregious misuse of the apostrophe... But aside from that, there has been a wide range of opinion on PAS, but the majority of it hasn't been even close to lynch mob territory.

Aw, sh1t! You had to say it out loud, and worse, put it in print. Don't you watch the movies? You've just written your own epitaph buddy. Why don't you just pull out a photograph of 'your girl' and tell the locals you're gonna propose when you get home?
At least he's not retiring next month.
