The Washington Post is embarrassed it can't find the story. I heard vape was now a word, but didn't know it was word of the year. That's impressive.
Made a post about it that probably resides on page 19 or so by now. Yours will do nicely, tho.
This "word of the year" may be sort of silly, but it does illustrate trends quite well. I.e last years was "selfie".

Fixed the link. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully when I type vape the auto correct will not try to change it to cape,ape or vase.
Just sayin' Enjoy the day!
Just sayin' Enjoy the day!I like how the word vape beat out Budtender as the other potential word of the year.
I just heard on the radio (NPR). We're now mainstream! Vape apparently was used this year in discussion, mostly in the context of discussion of it's merits and derisive content to such a degree that it became 'word of the year' in OED. Well, that makes me feel proud to be a part of the discussion--and a staunch supporter, and happy that more people will hear the Word! Our work has not gone unnoticed.
I am a vaper who produces vapor by vaping.......on my mods! 
I chain vape so sometimes get vaper's tongue so try to remember to vaporize different ejuices in my personal vaporizers.

Greg Gutfeld (Fox News: Red Eye and The Five) did a brief editorial about this tonight. He has been a vocal supporter of vaping for a year or two now as it helped him quit cigarettes. Gutfeld on Efforts to Ban E-Cigs: 'World Is Hijacked by Hysterics' | Fox News Insider
I saw this (on The Five) after seeing the thread(s) on ECF on this topic.
I always like Gutfield's rants on vaping and the ANTZ faction in society, though he never refers to them as ANTZ.
Decided to make a thread about this, but I just KNEW it was here already. Quick search -- yep. LOL. NICE!!!!
Full article on Yahoo! news.
Always predicting trends on the rise, last year’s Oxford English Dictionary “Word of the Year” was “selfie” — and we’ve seen no shortage of personal snaps, selfie-centered books and namesake TV shows spawned since the announcement.
That’s why this year’s buzzword is cause for real concern.
As proof that e-cigarette use has reached mainstream audiences, the folks at Oxford Dictionary have just announced “vape” as its word of 2014. In case you’re unfamiliar, the term means “to inhale and exhale the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device.”
Shocked? Maybe we shouldn’t be.

Bumping so others can see that there is this thread already on this subject LOL
Am I the only one who cringed a little bit the first time I heard the word "vape" and "vaping"? I've since said it / read it so many times that it doesn't even phase me, but I really had a negative gut reaction the first time I heard it (even though I was totally interested in trying it).
I'm glad to see there have been a few pro-vape news stories. I worry that the older-news-eyeballs will be more interested in the "look at what these damn kids are doing now" and "the vaping time bomb that will kill us all!" type stories.
