Hollywood gives us stars and fashion - and "HollyWords." A look
at some new catch phrases the entertainment world has given us this
year:

The Top Ten Candidates

Wardrobe malfunction (Super Bowl) - From the Janet Jackson/
Justin Timberlake incident.

Bootylicious (Grammys) - A woman who has an abundance of adipose
tissue in the gluteus maximus.

Extreme makeover - From various makeover shows, particularly the
one of that name.

Gigli - New word for "really bad."

Give it up! ("American Idol") - Replaces the square "please
applaud for "

Governator - The honorable governor of "CAH-lee-FOR-nee-ah."

Parley ("Pirates of the Caribbean") - From pirates' code of the
brethren, where one cannot be harmed until one has an audience with
the captain.

Snap ("Freaky Friday") - As in "Oh snap!," meaning "very cool."

Smiths ("The Matrix" sequels) - To lack individuality, like the
multiduplicated Agent Smith.

Understated ("Lost in Translation") - The new synonym for
"loser."

Bonus: Who are you wearing? (Various red-carpet shows) - For most
of us, the answer is "Target" or "Madame Wal-Mart."

AND THE WINNER IS

Wardrobe malfunction.
