Of course, there's room to consider almost anything.  Bear in mind that
there was an "umbrella revolution" in Latvia a couple of years ago.

Any place for "umbrella revolution" and "occupy Central" in ADS's categories
of "words of the year"?

I see that"occupy" was 2011 WOTY.  Perhaps "occupy Central" could be "Son of
...".
