Copywriters, here’s a word to add to the repertoire: infosnacking. It means “checking e-mail, Googling sports scores, shopping online and surfing the latest headlines” while at work, according to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, which has selected the term as its 2005 Word of the Year, despite its staggering lack of popularity. (It gets just 677 hits on Google this morning, and that includes a bunch of Word of the Year stories from this week.)
