The word quitter was used in reference to Harriet Miers withdrawing her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.

On the January 9 episode of The Colbert Report, there was no wørd of the day because Jack Abramoff pleading guilty to a number of felony criminal charges was said to present no issue, and thus no story.

The word "¡Cerrado!" was in reference to the U.S. borders, with Colbert recommending a wall built not just along the Mexican border but also along the Canadian border and the East and West coasts, and with a dome covering everything inside.
The word Old School was used in reference to the purportedly vengeful style of the God of the Old Testament.
The word "smarterer" was used to describe a condition better than being smarter, by being "smarter" at subjects like religion which Colbert identified as being more important than traditional school subjects like math and science; Colbert responded to reports of overseas students outscoring American students at core school subjects by seeking to become "smarterer", such as by learning that the answer to every question in science class is that "God did it".
The word Public-See was punned as a humorous antonym of Privacy.
Stephen follows a mistake by Carl Zimmer who mistakenly gives the name "Edward Colbert" in his original article for The New York Times.

The phrase translates into English as "Let the Good Times Roll", though Colbert declares that it translates to "Show us your tits".
