A year ago, you probably did not know what a vuvuzela was but, if you read this site during the World Cup, you know it now.
Turns out so do a lot of other people. The Global Language Monitor, which analyzes trends in word usage (read: English) says Vuvuzela was among the top new terms of the year, along with Tea Party and others, while last year Twitter and H1N1 were big winners.
And, yes, despite you partying "like it's 1999" last decade, we start counting with 1, not 0, so this is the last year of the first decade so what were the big winners in the decade about to end?
Global warming, 9/11 and Obama.
