It's a mark of the year we've had that the Public Address Word of the Year 2011 discussion generated so many nominations. I've had a bit of a cull but there are still 44 words and phrases to choose from.
As in previous years, give us your choice for the top three words of 2011, in order of preference, via the drop-down menus below. (The words are listed in alphabetical order).
You may only vote ONCE for each word! (Duplicate entries will be deleted.) Everyone who votes will go into a draw for an awesome Christmas hamper from Nosh and a whole case of the lovely Grower's Mark sauvignon blanc from Marlborough. (Prize details here.)
