Daily Mini-Quiz
Tuesday's Daily Mini-Quiz asked what the American Dialect Society's Word of the Year for 2005 was. The answer was "truthiness", meaning what one wishes to be the truth, regardless of the facts. Only one in five of you got it right. A whopping 70% thought it was "podcast". In 2006 its word of the year was "plutoed", meaning to demote or devalue. Today's Daily Mini-Quiz is on the index.
