    Actually, WoMD has already been the word of the year -- for 2002. That year the media was talking as much about WoMD as much as red states and blue states in 2004.

    Last year, the word of the year was metrosexual.

    one thing about these new words is their shelf life... i think metrosexual is already obsoloete.

    ?metrosexuality n.


    Example: A straight man who styles his hair using three different products (and actually calls them "products"), loves clothes and the very act of shopping for them, and describes himself as sensitive and romantic. In other words, he is a man who seems stereotypically gay except when it comes to sexual orientation.

    Thanks IaP ... Now I can see why they used it a lot (marketing - they were trying to save a sentence in using one word) ... what about Metrofashion (to obvious maybe ...) Oh well ...
