"If you are a 'metrosexual,' you might also be into 'manscaping.' If you're a 'flexitarian,' no doubt you've tried 'tofurkey. These are among the top words of 2003, so named by the American Dialect Society at its annual conference in Boston recently. To translate: 'metrosexual,' the winner of 'the word or phrase which most colored the nation's language,' is a fashion-conscious heterosexual male, preoccupied with money, clothes and style, and 'manscaping' is male body-shaving. 'Flexitarian,' winner in the most useful category, is a vegetarian who occasionally eats meat; and 'tofurkey' is a faux turkey created from tofu. Every year boasts its own vocabulary, says Dennis Preston, a Michigan State University linguist and past president of the dialect society. ... While 2002's winner was 'weapons of mass destruction,' 2003 brought us 'weapons of mass deception [3],' an entry Preston says he specifically voted for because it reflected a desire to lessen the nation's collective anxiety. Just how many of these terms have the staying power to make it into U.S. dictionaries in the future is not known; the jury is still out on previous years' words, such as 'chad,' 'blog' and 'Iraqnophobia.' But, despite the cringing of grammar purists, our love affair with slang lives on."
