"Yeah, become very popular to select a word of the year. American Dialect Society started doing it twenty years ago and we were the only game in town. But now there are lots of others who are getting into the act.
"And so, for instance, the New Oxford American Dictionary had a very good choice I thought as word of the year, and that was 'unfriend.' Unfriend, meaning to remove someone from one's friend list on Facebook or some other social networking site."
"Well, Merriam-Webster went about their choice a little differently this year. They based their word of the year on what people were looking up on their online dictionary and thesaurus. So the one that they ended up choosing was rather unusual. It was 'admonish.'
"And the reason that admonish got looked up so frequently was because of the incident involving the Congressman Joe Wilson who shouted out at Obama during his address to Congress. He shouted out 'You lie.' The House of Representatives decided to admonish Joe Wilson for what he had done, but they didn't go so far as to rebuke or censure him. So it's a slightly milder form of criticism or chastisement."
