The Kansas City Star

Last week’s results: Best Word Tha tIsn’t in the Dictionary (But Should Be)Your comments:

It was a close call between asshat and meh, but meh is the obvious winner here.” — Greg Stitt

LOL! Just waiting for these to hit the corporate lingo boardrooms. Synergize those asshats and put them in craptacular silos. Meh!” — CLEAR10 Vodka via Facebook

Jim’s picks:

Final Four: Truthiness, craptacular, asshat and bicurious (actually, truthiness made it into a few smaller dictionaries, but not into the main ones).

Finals: Craptacular and Asshat

Champion: Craptacular wins! Spectacularly crappy! Great word. There’s nothing else quite like it. And in today’s world, we need it!

Note:MILF” and “sideboob” are wonderful, too. But they’re niche words that aren’t as useful as my picks. And if “meh” didn’t have a killer draw in the first round, it would have done a lot better.

Ink staff pick:

Sideboob over meh. — Tasha Fabela-Jonas

MILF over sexting. — Annie Greenberg

Sexting over MILF. — Lindsay Hanson Metcalf
