[Ads-l] Woty favourite?

[Joel Berson]

I assume there will be an up or down vote on the entire category as a whoe, not on its individual members.

Back in February for my WSJ column I wrote about "Brexit," "Brexiter,"
"Brexiteer," "Bremain," "Bremainer," "Brexpert," etc.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/britains-eu-choice-brexit-or-bremain-1456499551

In recent days many more spinoffs have been added, including "Regrexit,"
"Bregret," "Bremorse," etc. Probably worth its own special category in the
WOTY voting.
