Merriam-Webster has posted its top ten words, which are only slightly less dour than the previous year’s words.  “Quagmire” makes a repeat appearance from a few years ago.  A la elementary school, I will now attempt to use them all in one sentence without cheating with a semi-colon or dash.  Consider yourself challenged to do the same.

  1. truthiness
  2. google
  3. decider
  4. war
  5. insurgent
  6. terrorism
  7. vendetta
  8. sectarian
  9. quagmire
  10. corruption
