'Cuddies/Chuddies' in a twist!!!!
The English Language WordClock: 999,97129 words until the 1,000,000th Word !!!!!
At the current pace of a new English-language word created about every 98 minutes, English will cross the Million Word Mark on June 10th, 2009 at 10:22 am (Stratford-on Avon Time).
And the finalists are Announced, including: alcopops, bangster, de-friend, n00b, quendy-trendy, slumdog, and wonderstar...
Due to the global extent of the English language, the Millionth Word is likely to appear from India, China.
Three Indian entries are in the race to become the millionth word. And the words are very infamous
1.Slumdog - means a streat-smart slum dweller.
2. Jai Ho!!! : From the Hindi, “it is accomplished’ achieved English-language popularity through the multiple Academy Award Winner, “Slumdog Millionaire”.
3. Cuddies ( they spelt it incorrectly as it should be Chuddies. : Ladies underwear in our own Desi language.
Many other words from other languages are in the race, you can read a full article at

So which word do you vote for?
My vote goes to 'Chuddies' as the cute little delicate word itsself is very much expressive. Where as slumdog is a combo of two already very english words. And Jai Ho can be a slogan rather than a word IMHO.
chuddy...
