As this decade comes to a close I am thinking of all the words that have been introduced to our everyday lives. Those words that ten years ago, as we approached the Millenium, would have meant nothing if you dropped it into a conversation.
The most obvious I can mention are
Alcopop
Bling
Bootylicious
Chav
Facebook
Hoodie
Meh
P’wned
Peng
Pimp’d
Poke
Social networking
Tase
Tweenager
Tweet
Wardrobe Malfunction
Wi-fi
What words can you add to the list!?
