This week is a big week for the family. The Dons of the family have never before trusted any Made Man to be involved in our decision making process. This week though, we allowed Amy from The Adventures of JAMC to select the WOW! for week 12. Not only did she step up and participate in the Word Up, YO! scavenger hunt of Week 10, she found more words than any other Associate and is now a Made Man. She has been a loyal member of the family from the start, and we see her continuing to move up the ranks.
But before we announce the next WOW!, there’s some business we need to take care of. All of our Associates really stepped up this week and there weren’t any mediocre Word Up, YO! posts that we came across. There were several that stood out to us, but there can only be one winner.
While Anne at AJD + Three is happy being mediocre, her post was anything but. She caught our attention and was one of the top contenders for this week’s win.
We laughed and jumped up and down (yes, we know it’s very un-Don like, but this is the Nerd Mafia, right?) as we read how Mom of the Perpetually Grounded describes her mediocrity.
Move Over Mary Poppins wrote a haiku that was far from mediocre. She was also a contender this week for the win.
But without a doubt, one of the best posts that we read this week, also just happened to be a Word Up, YO! Associate.
Congratulations to The Great Mama Experiment!
In the eyes of the Nerd Mafia, you are now a Made Man.
Please contact one of the Dons to received your code for the official Nerd Mafia button.
Good luck to all! Any maybe next week, you’ll be “made”, too!
For Rules and the new WOW!, please read below.

If you haven’t heard about Word Up, YO! yet, please read below:
KLZ, Natalie and I – a.k.a The Nerd Mafia – have a ridiculous fondness for the written word, and have come up with the idea for a vocabulary-based meme, which we so aptly named, Word Up, YO!
I bet you’re jealous, right?
Each week, we’ll feature a new word, its definition and open a Linky.
We even created a dorky badge…
{Please grab the code from the button in my sidebar, as it’s getting wonky when I paste it here}
To participate, you need to use the Word of the Week (WOW!) in one of your posts. When you use the word, add our Word Up, YO! button to that post, and then link up that post to one of our MckLinkys.
All entries will be considered, and the winner of the weekly Word Up, YO! vocabulary challenge will be announced the following Sunday, along with the new WOW!
Here’s a recap of the Rules…
* Use the Word of the Week (WOW!) in a post as many times as you legitimately can.
* Use the WOW! correctly in your post, & we’ve included a definition to guide you on this journey.
* Include the Word Up, Yo! button somewhere in your post.
* Link up your WOW! post anytime during the week. (The MckLinky is open Sunday-Friday at midnight).
* Link up below to your relevant post, not your blog home page, please.
That’s it! No mandatory follows, no mandatory comments. Visit as many other linked blogs as you can.
**Also, please note that the use of the word is not limited to tomorrow; you can use it in ANY post this week!**
At the end of the week, the Nerd Mafia will decide on a “winning” post. We’ll publish the winning post along with the new WOW! every Sunday.

Oh yes. Indubitable is my middle name.
I’m on it.
Thank you for the mention ; )Excellent choice and that is indubitable!
Hmm, so glad you picked a word that I use in my daily life! Plus, it’s just fun to say….almost like having a mouthful of marshmallows.
