Dictionary.com Selects "Bluster" as 2012 Word of the Year

OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Today Dictionary.com (www.dictionary.com), the preferred online and mobile dictionary for students of all ages, announced it has chosen "bluster" for its 2012 Word of the Year. Bluster has five definitions including "to roar and be tumultuous, as wind" and "noisy, empty threats or protests; inflated talk." Dictionary.com selected a word describing a memorable political campaign season and some of the most extreme weather conditions in human history, from floods in Australia to cyclones in China to Hurricane Sandy, and more. Man-made disasters spiraled as the European Central Bank continued to hem and haw over bailouts and austerity, and Greeks went to the polls after years of uncertainty. Even after many spilled words, the stability of the Euro fuels debate around the world. More than any other word, we feel that bluster conveys these dominant trends of 2012.

Dictionary.com's editorial team elaborates on the choice of bluster on its Hot Word blog:

Today's definition of bluster closely relates to the Old English "bluster" which meant "to wander or stray." However, unlike the 11th century, 2012 was full of bluster from the skies and from the mouths of pundits. As the US Congress faces the looming fiscal cliff, we can only anticipate more bluster from politicians (hopefully it will only come from them, not from more nor'easters and early winter storms).

Here are a few examples of how the word has turned up in the press: On May 19th, 2012, a writer for The Economist wrote: "Greece may be a small economy, but a Greek departure from the euro, amid brinkmanship and bluster, would not be a small event." On October 22nd, 2012, The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman used the word to describe China's economic policies: "So this is an odd time to be making confrontations over China's currency a centerpiece of your economic policy unless, of course, it's just bluster aimed at making voters think you're tough," in The New York Times (Blog).

Even without new coinages, English is such a ripe and fertile language that we didn't need to look far for a word to sum up this year. We believe that the act of finding a perfect word when searching for meaning can help one overcome challenges of all kinds natural, political or otherwise because no problem can be solved until it is articulated. We hope Dictionary.com can continue to serve as an aid against confusion for years to come.

Dictionary.com will also shortly be launching a Word of the Year contender word list and word learning game on Word Dynamo, its new online and mobile learning experience that combines the engagement of gaming with proven study techniques.

Kaskade To Ring In New Year With Blowout Set At HQ Nightclub At Revel Sunday, December 30

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Iconic American DJ and EDM trailblazer, Kaskade, will bring his signature sound when he takes over HQ Nightclub at Revel in Atlantic City for the first time ever as he helps close out 2012 with a special pre-NYE set on Sunday, December 30. Kaskade's jaw-dropping live show and innovative take on electronic music will captivate revelers as they approach the final moments of 2012. Tickets go on sale Monday, November 26 at 10 a.m. EST available on http://www.revelnightlife.com/tickets.

In addition to releasing seven studio albums, including his latest, Fire & Ice, which scored nine Top 10 hits on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart, Kaskade has created chart-topping remixes for everyone from Lady Gaga to Beyonce and performed between 150 and 200 headlining shows a year for the last 10 years. In doing so, he has built a name for himself as an innovator of the EDM scene as fans know it today and helped to lay the groundwork for a titanic musical and cultural shift: a post-rock EDM revolution that has captured the imagination of a new generation of music lovers across North America.

In 2012 alone, Kaskade, who's been named America's No. 1 DJ by DJ Times and Pioneer DJ, has not only headlined a special performance at Coachella but also completed his largest headlining tour ever with over 50-plus North American dates in just over three months. During the tour, he broke industry records and became the first EDM artist to ever solo headline Los Angeles' iconic Staples Center and, furthermore, sold out the venue more than a month in advance. In the wake of solidifying such cities as London, Berlin, Ibiza and Las Vegas as some of the world's top EDM destinations, his performance will cement Atlantic City and HQ Nightclub, which has hosted such names as AVICII, Cedric Gervais, Dada Life, Tommy Trash, Paul Oakenfold and many more, amongst this consummate nightlife pantheon.

HQ Nightclub is Atlantic City's newest nightlife destination consisting of distinct levels, each boasting a unique ambiance intended to surprise and excite even the most discerning partygoer. The club's main floor is the centerpiece of the venue, where a custom DJ booth, state-of-the-art sound system and video wall consisting of the largest HD LED panels ever installed in a nightclub, conspire to amplify illusions and intensify the evening. The main floor will serve as the premier spot for Kaskade to showcase his skill as guests start their countdowns to ring in the new year.

Doors will open at 10 p.m. Guests must be 21 years of age or older. For more information, visit http://www.revelnightlife.com or find us on Facebook and Twitter.

Revel is a new destination for uncommon recreation. The beachfront resort is smoke-free and features more than 1,800 rooms with sweeping ocean views. The resort houses a 130,000-square-foot casino with more than 2,000 slot machines, nearly 100 table games, electronic tables and a Poker Room. Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, Revel curates a collection of daylife and nightlife experiences crafted to bring the outside in and the inside out. Indoor and outdoor pools, gardens, lounges, and a 32,000-square-foot spa provide guests with a relaxing resort, while an outstanding collection of 14 restaurant concepts from award-wining chefs and restaurateurs, live entertainment featuring marquee acts and international artists, nightclubs, a casino that feels like a theatre and a collection of boutiques in The Row tailor to each guest's passions. Revel recently received regional recognition in the annual 'Best of Philly' awards by Philadelphia magazine, named the 'Best of Philly 2012 Casino Hotel.'
