ladies and gentlemen. boys and girls. wordoftheduh proudly presents this week's word battle. in this corner, weighing in at 11 letters, wearing the green trunks, the saddest word to ever make you laugh - malapropism *pause for applause*

and in the red corner, the greatest greek killer since lamb gyros landed in the states, holder of the featherweight title for six letter words that represent the number nine - ennead

it's 9-9-9. i know. merriam-webster had to try to pull something festive out. kudos to them...still a bad WOTD. malapropism is a great word. i like most words with mal- prefixes, especially malcontent. malcontent gets me all hot under the collar. but it isn't a good WOTD. neither are bad in and of themselves but neither are terribly impressive either.

last week's word winner (unless something crazy happens in the next 20 hours):
