Merriam Webster calculates the 10 most popular dictionary look-ups each year, and for 2004, blog tops the list!
The others, in descending order, are:
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 – just like looking up the top searches in Google, we can relive the year in words, in a particularly more succinct way than the hour-long extravaganza video blitz the networks air each January.
Rather short and to the point, except – did I miss a story about the act of defenestration being performed on someone? Actually, it could be a person or a thing, so you can fill in your own blank about the reason for the word occupying the number 10 spot. Any comments?
