Ok, I didn't get to put much effort into the search for the Word of today, but I found one nonetheless, with thanks to the Metro: "borstenreportage". A 'reportage' means a news article or news report, and 'borsten' means breasts. This has to do with the American 'nipplegate' (Janet Jackson) and the Dutch 'boobsgate' (Georgina Verbaan, the question of wether 'they' are 'real' or not occupied the minds of many of my countrymen for a sad, long time..) and now a new similar event: a soap-actress got a boobjob, from a reportedly already rather pleasant size to D-cup, and this was paid for by a radio DJ who told her he'd pick up the bill if she had the logo of the radio station tattood on her body somewhere as well, which she agreed to.
Yeah.. folks, not only is it sad that these things make it into the news, it's also three completely unrelated and unsimilar items, except that they have 'something' to do with celebrities' breasts. I really don't think we need this word. Begone, Useless Label !
Will return at some time tomorrow with the definitive pick of the Word of the Week :)
