THE MISSING LINK
'Grease' no longer the word, 'embedded' is

Inquiring minds at www.yourdictionary.com wanted to know: What was the word of the year? Officials for the site, with the input of users, picked "embedded" as the best of 2003's bon mots. The award-winning word was put to good use in the war with Iraq and beat out "blog" and "SARS" to capture the honor. The president of the site said, "'embedded' truly distilled the events of an extraordinary year into eight simple letters." The site also picked "shock and awe" as the phrase of the year and Saddam Hussein as the name of the year.
