"Truthiness" named Word of the Year

Truthfully. I’m sure Stephen Colbert’s Balls are swelling with joy.

Well, he is ballsalicious. Jon Stewart said so.

I love that word, PC Gamer uses it in their chart for measuring how good a game is. It’s called the Bar of Truthiness.

Yeah, but now they’re just going to get an infalted ego.

Yes, I said ego.

No, that is not a euphemism.

Infalted … inflated … screw it. They’ll get a swelled head, okay?

Do you doubt that words can be coined inadvertently by humorists?
How else do you explain words like Glaswegians?

I thought thruthiness was the word of the year last year? Am I totally wrong?

That’s Crumbalievable!

The American Dialect Society voted it Word of The Year for 2005 in January. Merriam-Webster is totally ripping us off.

Infellated?

Gotta love this guy. :smiley:

Its a perfectly cromulent word.

The Global Language Monitor also gave nods to not only “truthiness,” but “Wikilaity” as well. Sadly, no one has given “godless killing machines” its due.

I read the article this morning, and it was the first time I had ever heard the word “truthiness”. Ever.

I am so out of the loop. I’m not even totally sure who Stephen Colbert is, and I’m sure I’ve never watched his show. I don’t have cable, or satellite, and while I listen to the news and read newspapers, I somehow missed this word.
