For those that haven't heard the American Dialect Society is about to reveal their Word of the Year again. As we're all trying to think of innovative ways of finding new domains this struck me as a fantastic opportunity to check out word and phrase trends.

IMHO 10% - 15% of the list are rubbish or just too niche but the rest were interesting and a bunch I'd never heard of before. To my genuine amazement roughly 50% of the nominees *were* available.
Anyways, this was a good lesson to me and I wanted to share with you guys.
