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
Look for this week’s bracket on Facebook.com/inkkc and debate your top four picks. Then flip back here next week to see if your name made it into print.
