Last week we sent you, our Associates, into the world to hunt for the sake of the family. You didn’t know what you would face, but you did it bravely.
The winner of the Word Up, YO! Edition 10 Scavenger Hunt gets the rare opportunity to choose the WOW! for Week 12.
It is with great admiration and pride that we say…Congratulations to Amy from The Adventures of JAMC ! You found the most words in the Word Up, YO!, Edition 10 Scavenger Hunt!
In the eyes of the Nerd Mafia, you are now a Made Man.
But wait! We wild and nerdy Dons aren’t stopping there!
We are also making 2 more men. These 2 men are being made for their tremendous tenacity on behalf of the family. These men answered the Twitter call to duty and found the “hidden” WOW! in Hit Man Alyson’s Wednesday post.
Congratulations Lou from SuperIRL and Jenny from Like Swimming!
In the eyes of the Nerd Mafia, you are now Made Men.
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.

{ 6 comments… read them below or add one }
Congrats to the new Made Men – I cannot wait for this week’s WOW! So many ways to use mediocre…
Ahhh…mediocre…good word! And I’ll have to get thinking about next week’s word…the pressure! ; )
I am truly a nerd because I was excited to be made.
I really like this idea, but I don’t want to talk about mediocrity on my blog! Maybe next week will have a happier word
My posts for this week are hot or cold – nothing mediocre. Maybe next week the stars will align with something I can work in.
I finally entered a post!
I bit! And I even made the linky thing work : )
