Word of the Year: podcast
Monday, December 5th, 2005 at 2:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
The New Oxford American Dictionary revealed "podcast" as its word of the year on Monday. Podcast earned its position as 2005's number-one word thanks to the explosive growth and interest in podcasting. The dictionary's choice underscores the popularity of Apple's iPod, both as a digital music player, and as a part of our social culture.
The dictionary defines podcast as "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player," and will add the word to the dictionary in 2006.
A few of the runner-up words included:
-
DP internally displaced person; someone forced to relocate within a
country because of a natural disaster or civil unrest
IED improvised explosive device, such as a car bomb
lifehack a more efficient or effective way of completing an everyday task: "I found a great lifehack for getting a cheap hotel room."
rootkit software installed on a computer by someone other than the owner, intended to conceal other programs or processes, files or system data.
