Well it's about dang time that word made the list! Oddly enough, I don't think I've heard it as often this past year as I did the year before (and possibly the year before that).
And although it's not a word, something I'm getting tired of real fast right now is the way people elongate the last word in a statement when typing/texting. I/E- "I want to go nowwwwwww" "Oh, me tooooooo!" "Wait, what about meeeeeeeee?" What is the point of all that? I can see when emphasizing a word to elongate it like that (I do that myself), but to just add more of the last letter to make it look like your finger got stuck on that button when typing/texting it.. just, why?

I'll second that. The extra letters are just so pointless.
 No problem with Epic, Fail, or the combination here. As for most of the rest: Quote:

I like epic in its original meaning, its proper defination. I like google as a verb (hey, Hoover is in the dictionary "I will hoover the floor", and that is a brand name!)
I'll go tink of some
