“LOCAVORE”: WORD OF THE BLEEDIN’ YEAR?

At the outset of the release of The Food Snob’s Dictionary, we were kicking ourselves for not having included the word “locavore” in the book. But now we have an excuse for this omission: The New Oxford American Dictionary has declared “locavore” to be its Word of the Year. And if a word is getting that kind of big-time national recognition, it is no longer the province of Food Snobs after all. Hoi polloi, it’s all yours.
