New words that have become commonplace in the last year, you can really see the influence of the net and mobile phone permeation in a lot of them.

My personal favourites :

Cliterati: collective noun, feminist or woman-oriented writers or opinion

ass-hat: noun, a thoughtless or stupid person

MOST EUPHEMISTIC: word or phrase which least says what it means to.

Winner pre-emptive self-defense: noun phrase, an attack made before a possible attack.
