近日，一家英国市场研究机构 YouGov 公布了一项最新网络调查报告，该结果显示blog（博客）、netiquette（网络礼节）、cookie（小甜饼）、wiki（维基）等词被选为互联网中最让人厌烦的词汇。
据了解，该项调查受“露露博客图书奖”（Lulu Blooker Prize）委托，在2091个成年人中展开。
在这份新出炉的“最让人讨厌的互联网词汇”榜单中，排名第一位的是“folksonomy”，人们对它的评语是:最有可能让用户“生厌、气愤甚至想拿脑袋撞键盘”。folksonomy 是一个由folks（公众、民间）和 taxonomy（分类法）组合、衍生而成的新词。该词用以描述网页分类系统，由社会性书签服务中最具特色的自定义标签（Tag）功能衍生而来。
Blogosphere（博客圈）名列第二，它是指某一个博客用户群体的统称。blog（博客）自身排名第三。
据了解，目前，互联网上共拥有约100万亿个单词(绝大部分是英文)，互联网的单词量还在以每月10％至20％的速度增长，然而由于其中许多单词正在“死亡”，因此净增长率要相对小一些。
第九版《柯林斯英语词典》已将互联网上经常使用的一批新单词纳入其中，人们突然发现互联网已催生了如此多的新单词。新近被收入词典、与互联网相关的新单词还包括me-media（意指个人内部空间网站），godcast（一种宗教服务，该服务将《圣经》的语音版本转换成MP3格式），Generation C（指那些创建和出版博客、播客、视频的人）。

‘Blog’, ‘cookie’, ‘wiki’ top list of hated Internet words: poll
LONDON (AFP) - “Blog”, “netiquette”, “cookie” and “wiki” have been voted among the most irritating words spawned by the Internet, according to the results of a poll published Thursday.
Topping the list of words most likely to make web users “wince, shudder or want to bang your head on the keyboard” was folksonomy, a term for a web classification system.
“Blogosphere”, the collective name for blogs or online journals, was second; “blog” itself was third; “netiquette”, or Internet etiquette, came fourth and “blook”, a book based on a blog, was fifth.
“Cookie”, a file sent to a user’s computer after they visit a website, came in ninth, while “wiki”, a collaborative website edited by its readers, was tenth.
British pollsters YouGov questioned 2,091 adults earlier this month for the poll commissioned by the Lulu Blooker Prize, a literary award for books, which released the results in a statement.
Earlier this month, the growing use of words inspired by cyberspace was highlighted when the Collins English Dictionary announced that a string of them would be included in their ninth edition.
These included “me-media”, a term for personal content websites such as Facebook, and “godcast”, a religious service which has been converted to an MP3 format.
The dictionary’s compilers monitor the use of English through a 2.5 billion word database of websites, magazines, books, journals, newspapers and broadcast transcripts to help them decide if new words should be included.

讨人烦，从另外一个角度就是说，这个词被讨论的太多，太流行了，哈哈。
