    And today was going so well. The mankini, popularized by Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat. Because that’s what we want 2011 to be known for; the year that we introduced torso-spanning banana hammocks into our day-to-day vocabulary. Other words that are now acceptable to use include ‘sexting,’ ‘retweet,’ and ‘cyberbullying.’ See also,  ‘apocalypse.’

    What’s especially nice, and by nice understand that I mean depressing, is that this year is the centenary of the Oxford English Dictionary – you know, that thing made out of dead trees you use to prop up your laptop when the sun’s coming in at an awkward angle. So one hundred years after the first publication of the OED, we get to celebrate the admission of the word ‘jeggings’ into this year’s edition.
