whichbe commented on the word wordie list of the year 2008
I'd imagine (since it's hard to date-stamp these lists) that any list can be nominated for this award, regardless of what year it was created.

I think last year someone came up with categories for either WOTY or LOTY. But I can't remember.

Could we have a Zoological List Of The Year? Purely for the acronym. Other Z-word submissions considered.

pterodactyl commented on the word wordie list of the year 2008
I'd like to nominate sionnach's Dale counting sheep.
Also, though I know it's terribly gauche of me, I want to nominate one of my own lists: Nicknames you shouldn't give to an axe-wielding, loincloth-wearing barbarian warrior with bulging thews.

sionnach commented on the word wordie list of the year 2008
Thanks, ptero. I'm kind of partial to reesetee's The Measure of Man and Oddball Opposites lists myself. Yarb's hedgepiglet list is also incredibly charming, though I don't really understand what it takes to get on it. And - obviously - gangerh's sweet tooth fairies need to be included among the nominees.
Oh, and those dirty porn birds of bilby's

Should we have a phrase of the year?

moll: it's a good idea (poty08 (which makes me want to pee)), but I feel like it's too late to bother now. I suggest that you just declare one, just like seanahan declared madeupical the woty07.

There are many here and here. Mollusque as our arbiter elegantiae is fine by me!

mollusque commented on the word wordie list of the year 2008
My own phrase of the year would have to be syrup of ipecac (as explained there). (Likewise, aceituno is my word of the year: it completed the panvocalic circumnavigation.) But other phrases might better represent Wordie as a whole, so I've tagged a few with poty08. Let's see what else gets nominated.

I gotta go with: Nicknames you shouldn't give to an axe-wielding, loincloth-wearing barbarian warrior with bulging thews. It just makes the snot fly out of my nose every time!

I nominate Words that shouldn't be used on a first date
I couldn't possibly pick my favourite of all of these. Too much funny!

seanahan commented on the word wordie list of the year 2008
I've been off the grid for a while. I spent a lot of time doing Word of the Year, List of the Year, etc. last year, but there was a lot of negative reaction to the whole idea of it, which is why I didn't involve myself in it this year. I still think it's a great idea in general, so thanks to Whichbe for making it happen.
