The comments in the 39th annual list article are more enjoyable than the actual list of words. Here are the top four and a few choice comments (or read them all):

  1. Selfie:  “It’s a lame word. It’s all about me, me, me. Put the smartphone away. Nobody cares about you.” — David, Lake Mills, Wisc.
  2. Twerk: Let’s just keep with ‘shake yer booty’ — no need to ‘twerk’ it! Hi ho, hi ho, it’s away with twerk we must go.” – Michael, Haslett, Mich.
  3. Hashtag: “… everyone seems to add it to everyday vocabulary. #annoying #stopthat #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag .” – Alex, Rochester, Mich.
  4. Twittersphere: “There cannot possibly be any oxygen there.” – Matt of Toledo, Ohio
