Word of The Year + Word of The Decade

tweet & google.

Fun fact as pointed out by John Baker: both tweet and google are proprietary names. Google is obviously a trademark of the powers-that-be at the Googleplex (who are no doubt unhappy about the dilution of the brand name by having it treated as a generic verb). But tweet is also a registered service mark owned by Twitter, filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on April 16, 2009.
