I think I realized my favorite word of the year last night. We've seen it all year long in gossip stories about J. Lo, Jessica Alba, and Christina Aguilera.. But last night, it broke into the mainstream news media and made me realize it's the ultimate word of 2007. Drum roll please...

"Preggers"

It was on CNN last night as a headline about the teen pregnancy of lil' Britney Spears -- "Britney's lil' sis is preggers." PREGGERS!? In big bold print on CNN! I don't make this stuff up.

For an 'official' definition of preggers, here's what the Urban Dictionary has to say about that (#6 being my favorite).

I don't even know what the biggest story here is now. Whether the famous kid sis has now joined the growing stable of hollywood trainwrecked starlets with her big sis or whether "the most trusted name in news" is dipping into words like "preggers."
