[b]Websters Dictionary has named the top 10 words of 2004, based on inquiries to their actual meaning and common usage.


1. Blog
2. incumbent
3. electoral
4. insurgent
5. hurricane
6. cicada
7. peloton
8. partisan
9. sovereignty
10. defenestration


I actually didn't know #7 or # 10 and I consider myself to have a decent vocabulary. If you know them good for you, if not here are their definitions:




Peloton: (noun) - The main body of riders in a bicycle race

Defenestration: (noun) - Throwing of a person or thing out of a window[/b]
