TOP TEN WORDS….More end-of-the-year pop culture stuff: the top ten words of 2003 (according to YourDictionary.com). Some miscellaneous comments:
-
“Blog” is #2 on the main list. This obviously means that blogging has reached its peak and is slated for oblivion in 2004.
-
“Allision” is #7? I’ve never even heard of this one.
-
“Celibacy”? Give me a break.
-
“Give it up!” is #2 on the Youthspeak list? Youthspeak? This phrase is at least decades old and in steady use by Vegas emcees, isn’t it?
-
Ditto for “tricked out” and “rice rocket.” Frankly, any word or phrase that I’m personally familar with ? and have been for years ? is a pretty unlikely candidate for an emerging Youthspeak favorite.
-
Is “10X” really moving into widespread use?
At least this one wasn’t a quiz, so I didn’t get any wrong.
