vocabulary

a few weeks ago i heard a story on NPR about some lexicon society's nomination for word of the year: bailout. i liked it, and also enjoyed the various runners up, like all the permuations of obama, and of course maverick.

inspired by my good blogmate's favorite pastime of keeping a little list of words said in class that she likes, i've been keeping tabs on my own favorites (reigning champ: collusion), and humbly offer up my election inspired word of the year:

jumbotron.

right where we left off...

my good blogmate and i have both found ourselves back in school this quarter, and as such we're back to making our usual snide observations about the maladaptive behavior of u of c undergrads.

i submit the following question: how can anyone think that it's a good idea to walk and read a book at the same time?

discuss.
