Los Angeles, CA (AHN) -- The word-trend group Global Language Monitor named the top television buzzwords of the year on Sunday. The two words - ""Truthiness" and "Wikiality" - both come from Stephen Clobert's political satire show "The Colbert Report."

Every year The Global Language Monitor conducts a survey to uncover the TV words that have impacted language the most. Some other top words include "Katrina," referring to continuing stories about the hurricane's devastation; "Katie," referring to Katie Couric's new position as nightly news anchor role at CBS News; and "Dr. McDreamy," a reference to a character on the hit medical show "Grey's Anatomy."

Global Language Monitor defined Colbert's "truthiness" as "truth unencumbered by the facts." "Wikiality," a word derived user-written and edited online encyclopedia Wikipedia, means "reality as determined by majority vote."

Paul JJ Payack, president of the Global Language Monitor, tells Reuters, "Some of these buzzwords will quickly pass while others will be embedded in the language for years to come."
