I have a strange request and thought all of you ladies would be my best chance at finding an answer.
I'm helping my husband out. He is taking an on-line speech class and needs to find 5 "new" words that have become popular in the last 5 years. I have come up with a couple but am stumped.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks so much, ladies! I knew I could count on you to help me out. I will pass these on to my husband. I learned some new words, too. I must be getting old. ;) I have to admit I hadn't heard of some of these.
Thanks again!

My teenager is in bed, but if you're still stumped tomorrow... I will ask her.
staycation - taking an 'in-town vacation'.
pwned - (I got this from my high school kids). To 'pwn' someone is to 'own' them (defeat, 'burn', etc.). It is called 'pwn' because it is one of the most commonly misspelled words due to a typo.
There's two; I'll try to think of more!
