Merriam-Webster has chosen the ever popular phrase of exclamation, “Woot!” as their Word of the Year.

The word was chosen from a list of 20 including others such as “blamestorm,” “hypocrite,” and “quixotic” in an online survey. The words competing generally came from the mostly frequently searched terms on Merriam-Webster Online as well as their own Open Dictionary which operates like a wiki.

“Woot!” is known as part of l33t or elite speak, popularized by online gamer forums and geeks alike. Clearly, it’s no surprise “Woot!” came out on top in an online poll.

"Nevertheless, I must warn you that in future you should delete the words 'crunchy frog', and replace them with the legend, 'crunchy raw unboned real dead frog' if you want to avoid prosecution."
