My new favorite dictionary webpage is Mirriam-Webster. They have just announced their choice for 2006 Word of the Year:
truthiness(noun)
1 : “truth that comes from the gut, not books” (Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” October 2005)
2 : “the quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than concepts or facts known to be true” (American Dialect Society, January 2006
Runners up included “google” and “decider.”

One would hope to see the name of a dictionary spelled correctly!
