2005 words from the Editor of the Oxford American Dictionary:
Podcasting – Web based broadcasting of music, blogs etc.
Life Hacking – Making your life better, more efficient.
Chess Boxing – A new sport. Two opponents box til fatiqued then play chess????

Upcoming words for 2006
Courtstripping – removal of power from state or federal courts by legislators.
Truthiness – A characteristic of something metaphorically true, wishful thinking.
Tablescape – Everything on top of the table, glassware, dishes, napkins etc.
Cromulent – Perfectly acceptable. (from the Simpsons.

Help me out with a list of “asylumisms”, eh? All I can come up with are 'moran' and 'cnut' but I know there are soooo many more.

Those were the words alright. The show's host did a good job recapping them at the end. I was amused as I flipped off this ***** for cutting into my lane. Then I ran her off the road into a concrete embankment.

it facinated me that the people put in charge of making the English language evolve textually find it acceptable to glean words that were used once in comedy programs.

Makes my head hurt. It's not a real word, dammit! Quit putting slang and techno-babble in the dictionary! And American's wonder why people laugh at the way we talk.

Whoever decided that, "Life Hacking" is worthy of being included in the Oxford American Dictionary, or any dictionary for that matter, should experience a real 'life hacking' beheading at the hands of Al'qaeda.
