Words of the year

This is a blatantly copied and pasted post, but I thought it was funny and I am maintaining my overactive posting rate...

The American Dialect Society announced that the word of the year in 2007 was "subprime." Previous winners include the 2006 verb "pluto," which means to devalue something, and the 2005 adjective "truthiness," which refers to what one wants to be true regardless of the facts.
Other important new words that emerged in 2007:

"Am I crazy, or are you drinking hard raspberry cider and eating a canadian bacon and pineapple pizza?"
"What are you, a toe-tapper?"
"No, I just have a wide stance."

Harry the Dirty Dog, maybe, but The Pet Goat? No way. That's a crazy conspiracy theory.
