Words of the year. *

Some of my favourite, if somewhat off the wall, ones include:

desk-Yeti - similar to a desk monkey (someone who spends all day working) but rarer; in fact so rare they have never been seen.

Fauxmosexual/metrosexual - young, Beckham-like man, who in terms of grooming, style, sensitivity and culture appears to be gay, but actually sleeps with women
(Suggested by reader Justin, UK)

hammer time - start of war, as predicted by US Vice Admiral Timothy Keating. "Make no mistake, when the president says go - look out, it's hammer time

intexicated - drunken text messages will be sent by the inebriated.
(Suggested by reader George, UK)

poxy moron - a person wearing a "happy to help" badge but who actually isn't anything of the sort (typically a zit-covered shop assistant who has no idea where anything is)
(Suggested by reader A Greenwood, UK)

recreational assistant - politically correct term for drug dealer
(Suggested by reader Julian, UK)

self-dating - euphemism for masturbating, according to GB Trudeau's Doonesbury

unknown unknowns - things we don't know that we don't know, according to US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
(Suggested by reader Terry Jarvis, England)
