The Word of the Year. →[More:]Editors of the New Oxford
American Dictionary have picked their word of the year. I think the word of the year should have been giantpinkbunnyonahillsideinitaly, but that's just me.

The gawker bit re: 'squick' linked in the link is, uh, interesting.

Hey I thought clavdivs had made up the term skull fucking - I didn't know skull fucking was a thing that people do.

Out of the loop, once again!

R. Lee Ermy was familiar with skull fucking back in the 'Nam.

Someone actually linked me once to a site that, uh, described how one would best "squick". It involved strapping the body down on the table and something about the warmth of the brain. And death jitters.

Please do not ask me to find this link again.

They linked you to it? Like via WHOIS?

gaspode: me too. If lifehack had won I would have been mightily pissed off. The fact that it was even in the running irritates me.

I refuse to believe that 'lifehack' is one word.

Squick? Squick? WTF? Lifehack?

I think it's best if you don't confuse an IUD with an IED, but that's just me. Unless they start selling IED's as particularly effective forms of IUD's. Which is a lifehack that's definitely squick-worthy. (btw - squick-worthy will make next year's list, no doubt).
