The New Words of 2007

The New York Times has an article on new words and expressions that gained attention in the past year: All We Are Saying. Some of them may become generally accepted. Others will be forgotten almost at once. And some will become clichés—widely used, but not really very helpful.

Lake Superior State University in the US publishes a list of "banned words" every January. These are expressions that people shouldn't use, even if the expressions are popular. I'll post a link to them when the list is announced.

In the meantime, I hope everyone is having a very happy holiday season, and I wish you all a very successful new year!
