How long before hip-hop gets here?

From the AP: `Subprime' Is Linguists' Word of Year.

Even the American Dialect Society knows how risky home mortgages are these days. The group of wordsmiths chose "subprime" as 2007's Word of the Year at its annual convention Friday..

Word, son, word.

† For 2008, I nominate 'systemic risk'.
