The American Dialect Society have formally reflected on new words introduced in 2005. Among them, “truthiness” which is he quality of stating concepts one wishes or believes rather to be true, rather than the facts itself.
Most useful word is “podcast” which is a digital feed containing audio or video files for downloading to an MP3 player.
Most creative words are “whale tail” which is the appearance of a thong above the waistband, and “muffin bag” the bulge of flesh hanging over the top of low-riding jeans.
“Cruisazy” means to exhibit crazy behavior ala Tom Cruise.
“Sudoku” , a Japanese number puzzle also got mentioned as the puzzle continues to become more popular, and “pope squatting” was the practice of registering a domain name that is the name of the new pope in order to profit from it afterwards. This was due to the death of Pope John Paul II and the speculation who would be the next pope in 2005.
