OMG! M-W Is A n00b!

Each year Merriam-Webster's Dictionary chooses a Word of the Year. Last year it was "truthiness." This year the editors chose "w00t," a combination of letters and numbers used by online gamers when they want to show joy or triumph. As in "w00t! Merriam-Webster sounds like my grandmother saying, 'Wassup, homey? That bling-bling makes you like like a playah. Out!'." Maybe next year they'll choose "WTF?"
