What will the word of 2010 be?
The 2009 Word of the Year, according to the New Oxford English Dictionary was unfriend, which seems befitting as 2009 really wasn’t such a great year and weaning yourself of some of the excess fat/friends seemed like a good idea!
2008′s word was hypermiling, where you tried to get the most gas mileage out of your car.. and with gas prices through the roof, that word also seemed somewhat appropriate.
2007′s word was bacn, which was an odd choice, though I love the bacn movement as they sent me a box of bacon once, 2006′s was “carbon neutral“, which seems like two words, but hey, and 2005′s was podcasting.
WELL…. 2010 is upon us! I’m optimistic that the “tens” will be better than the “aughts“… or the “naughts“.. or the “naughties“.. whatever they were called! Perhaps if we had named the darn decade it would have made something of itself!
A friend of mine just posed the question to me, and I’d like to hear your thoughts. What do you think the word of 2010 will be? Write it in the comments below and I’ll pick a winner and make a video about it.
