The Nerd Mafia is now trying to win the internet. Help us by joining our crew!
Today is the day to announce our champion. It was not easy. Many vied for the spot. Surferwife even tried to bribe us by pimping the Nerd Mafia. It almost worked.
But she was beaten by the woman at whose feet foibles cower:
Her post was laugh out loud funny, used the word repeatedly and well, read it. You can’t not smile.
Roxane, in the eyes of the Nerd Mafia, you are now a Made Man.
I’d like to shout out some top contenders this week as well:
This week Law Momma used the word’s less common definition as her post title. Awesome.
AJD plus Three was raw and real in confronting her foibles. Great read.
Throw your pocket protector in the ring this week by following the rules below.
Rules:
* Use the Word of the Week (WOW!) in a post as many times as you legitimately can.
* Use the WOW! correctly in your post, we’ve included a definition to guide you on this journey
* Include the Word Up, Yo! button somewhere in your post
* Write a post with the WOW! and link it up anytime during the week the linky is open (Sunday-Friday)
* Link up below to your relevant post, not your blog home page please
That’s it! No mandatory follows, no mandatory comments. Visit as many other linked blogs as you can.
At the end of the week, the Nerd Mafia will decide on a “winning” post. We’ll feature the winning posts with the new word. A new Word of the Week and featured post will be published every Sunday.
Now, without further ado the Word of the Week is a classic: plethora
Plethora
–noun
1. overabundance; excess: a plethora of advice and a paucity of assistance.
2. Pathology Archaic. a morbid condition due to excess of red corpuscles in the blood or increase in the quantity of blood.

Oh I love this word.
I can't believe I seriously won. You Dons are awesome. I have a plethora of ways I would like to show my appreciation, but to avoid crossing lines I will just tell you that I love you and simply say
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!
Love you guys!
Dude. I totally messed that word up the first time I said it in a conversation. My husband laughed at me. It was ugly. I pronounced it pluh-THOR-uh. Woops.
I am going to give myself second place. Because you shouted me out first. This means i was first place LOSER.
Congrats Roxane.
Unfortch for the plethora of peeps joining in this week, I am taking you ALL down. Naked mud wrestling style.
OMG Plethora. That is like my favorite word ever. I promise to participate this week. Sorry I've been such a dud so far.
Plethora is a very special word. It always reminds me of the Princess Bride. I hope I can do it justice.
done! but read at your own peril: http://crazywithasideofawesomesauce.blogspot.com/2010/06/plethora-of-periods.html
WOW, with such a plethora of exciting entries, I don't stand a chance! Word up Yo!
(see what I did there?? WOW?? Plethora?? Word up Yo??? Mad skills baby!) LOL!
Congrats Roxanne! It's cool that we're using a word I actually know although I've really enjoyed learning new words (foible and gullet). Once we get a lot of words in, you should do a challenge using the previous words, that would be crazy, LOL.
Yay for Roxanne!!
I missed last week's, but I'm in there this week.
Love the Nerd Mafia button… you gals are too much.
