Neology

World Wide Words, a weekly ‘zine, reports that the BBC is gathering its list of 2001’s important additions to the language. Among the entries:
box-cutter
asymmetric warfare
wi-fi
weblog
It’s followed by a list of suggestions from We the People, including:
Potterphobia
e-sackings (being fired by email)
Euronating (media hype over the introduction of the Euro)
Leader envy (people in the US who wish Tony Blair was their President)
Any other suggestions?
