Great and utterly stupid news! The American Dialect Society has included "to zeta-jones" on the shortlist for the Least Likely To Succeed Word of 2003. Famously invented by Elizabeth Spiers of Gawker, to "zeta-jones" means "to eat ravenously, as if downing last bowl of Sally Struthers-provided rice in the midst of a famine."

We must win this v. v. prestigious award. Please offer dirty favors to the linguist next to you immediately on our behalf. Thank you.
