Colbert Report Lands Two Words on TV's Most Popular Buzzwords of '06 List
Topic: Entertainment

Congratulations go out to Comedy Central's brilliant The Colbert Report, for adding another notch on their belt of creating satire.  Both "truthiness" and Wikiality" have been added to TV's most popular buzzwords by the Global Language Monitor, which also added "Dr. McDreamy" and "Katie" to their list this year.  Because we're all about pop culture (until it gets annoying - ed.), definitions are as follows:

Truthiness - Truth unencumbered by the facts

Wikiality - From Wikipedia, meaning reality as determined by majority vote

Dr. McDreamy - A "dreamboat" physician, originally used in Grey's Anatomy

Katie - Leaving what made you popular for more money and publicity, i.e. Katie Couric going to CBS

So there you are, dear readers.  Use at your leisure, and remember that these words will get annoying over time.  We're off again, so until we know when we'll be back, keeping checking up, because your hits keep us alive!
