User:Rockpilot/2009 new words
This is a list of so-called top words of the year, according to various sources. And all the ones in red are red because they don't staisfy CFI - all been coined in 2009. This is evidence that Wiktionary is on the ball. Researching this I stumbled on an advert about meerkats and some strange behaviour frm around the world.
