... at least, according to the Yale Book of Quotations (http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN1959512020071219?). I gotta say, I agree with this far more than Websters' sycophantic worship of w00t!


Fred R. Shapiro, the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, said the plea made by University of Florida student Andrew Meyer on September 17, accompanied by Meyer's screams as he was tased, beat out the racial slur that cost shock jock Don Imus his job and the Iranian president's declaration that his country does not have homosexuals.

Much more apprpriate than w00t, I haven't heard w00t used in about 2-3 years.

I can live with "Don't Tase Me Bro" but I think the "There are no GAys in Iran" quote was definately up there on my list.

I'm not going to complain about w00t because someone is eventually going to log on to wikipedia later and edit the word of the year entry so that wikiality replaces w00t. Wikiality FTW
