  • Merriam-Webster's Words of the Year 2004

    Based on your online lookups, the #1 Word of the Year for 2004 was


    Blog noun [short for Weblog] (1999) : a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer
    Click on each of the other words in the Top Ten List for their definitions in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
     2.  incumbent
     3.  electoral
     4.  insurgent
     5.  hurricane
     6.  cicada
     7.  peloton : noun (1951) : the main body of riders in a bicycle race
     8.  partisan
     9.  sovereignty
    10. defenestration

    Funny.  There's still a month left in 2004.  I think I'll click on 'insurgent' a few hundred thousand times and ruin their headlines.
