Oxford Dictionaries' word of the year? Selfie.


According to the editors, the use of 'selfie' has increased by 17,000% in the past 12 months.

If prior words of the year are any indication, you'll probably forget 'selfie' by this time next year. Why? The previous four winners of Word of the Year:

2012  omnishambles
2011  squeezed middle
2010  big society
2009  simples

There's a 17,000% chance I haven't used any of those words or phrases ever.
