'Expulsion' chosen as Switzerland's word of the year!!!

“Ausschaffung” – the German for “expulsion” - has been chosen as the Swiss word of the year, just a few days after the Swiss voted to expel criminal foreigners.

It was selected by a six-member jury of media and entertainment personalities from some 2,000 suggestions and announced on German-language Swiss radio on Thursday.

The jury justified its choice by saying a single political group was managing to determine public debate and to give new expressions popular currency. More...

Don't miss:
  1. Foreigners alarmed by Swiss expulsion vote...
  2. Swiss approve initiative to deport foreigners...
  3. Stephen Fry on words and language... 
  4. Furious France hits back at EU's "Nazi" allusion to Roma deportations...
