The SF Chronicle is doing their annual Word of the Year poll. You can vote for the “word of the year” on that page, and see some of the also-ran entries. The finalists:

• Bling bling
• Embedded
• Governator
• Kah-lee-for-ni-a
• Metrosexual

I was hoping to see zhushing (or “tjuzsing”) make the list as well, but maybe next year.
