Subprime Word of 2007

Thought it would be interesting to tell everyone that comes here that the American Dialect Society chose "subprime" (most likely due to the current crisis in the US) as word of 2007. The word beat other runners-up such as "green", "Facebook" (more popular among younger people) and "Googleganger" (???).
