If you caught The Colbert Report last night, you heard Stephen tooting his own horn over the fact that "truthiness," a word/phrase he claims to have coined, was chosen as the Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society (ADA). I assumed, like probably many others, that Stephen was completely and utterly full of crap, having a bit of fun with all of us. The folks over at BC Beat dug a bit deeper, however, and found that yes, there is in fact an American Dialect Society, and yes, "truthiness" is indeed the 2005 Word of the Year. I doff my hat to you, old timer. You are indeed a wordsmith to be reckoned with, and I am humbled in your presence.
